The rest of my day was basically checking and my patient and assessing her vital signs again. Although my day was very interesting, but I still made a big mistake which was leaving the patient with a low blood pressure. Although, I informed the nurse about that. Even though, I was planning to recheck her vital signs when I come back, which I did, but it was still a mistake to leave a patient without making sure everything was alright. What I should have done was recheck her blood pressure again before leaving the floor to go for my break. Additionally, I got the chance to watch one of the nurses to setting up blood transfusion for one of the patient, which was the same idea as setting an IV but it was useful to learn that. Also, I got to and observe the insertion of catheter for one of the patient, even though the insertion was extremely difficult to do regarding the swelling he had but, I felt it was important to see that in order to get an idea about the struggle that you might face. Overall, I will say that I had an interesting day and I am looking forward to next week to learn more about stroke, especially since I will be in stroke
