Day 9: Gynecology

This gynecology shift was very boring and not much action. I followed the same nurse around and watched her take care for all her patients that had just come from surgery. She basically did all the same procedures for everyone she had for that time period. She took their vitals, charted, and got anything they needed or asked for. The only exciting part was I got to listen to one of the nurses talk about her experience with breast cancer. She is a survivor and now works in this medical and surgery department to help patients that have just come out of surgery from a mastectomy. She wears pink scrubs in honor of breast cancer.
