3/19-3/21
This week wasn't busy; it was an easy day. Monday we filled up waters for patients that needed refills. Tuesday we sat at the front desk, buzzed people in and answered a lot of phone calls. Patients call the front desk if they need a nurse for something. Some patients normally need Motrin for headaches or pains or ointment for the them or their child.

Newborn Baths
Week 3/5-3/7
Our unit was closed this week so we went to the nursery in the labor delivery unit. We took care of babies and watched nurses take their bloodwork. But the cool thing was watching them get a bath. They can't take a full bath because the umbilical cord stump dries up and falls off. For now they just wash their heads. Bathing the baby too much can dry out his/her skin. It reminded me of watching my aunt wash my baby cousin when he was born, and I learned a lot from watching her.

Babies and Bloodwork
Week 2/26 - 2/28
This week was once again easy; we covered the front desk lady while she went to lunch. We watched them take blood from the babies and perform check ups before returning them to their mothers. It was interesting watching the babies react to getting their blood taken because some are calm while others cried.
