Goleta 420

Today was my first day of this Critical Care Nursing course, and honestly, I have a really great feeling about it. I am most looking forward to learning about how specific disease processes interact with each other in the critically ill patient, and how as nurses you implement interventions to help maintain stability for the patient. The human body is really fascinating to me so it will be interesting to learn how compensatory mechanisms kick in and the effects that they have on an individual. Our instructor, Jaime, seems to be very knowledgeable on the subject and has a lot of experience to draw from as she imparts her wisdom to us. She is very tech-savy, and I appreciated that she took the time during our first day to  ensure we understood how the required technology for the course functioned. I am most excited that this course is being taught as a hybrid, I think it will keep it more interesting and help us to become more easily adaptable in our technological skills when we are working on the floor.

I haven’t yet come across something that I dislike about this course. However, I am worried that when placed in the clinical setting I will blank on the knowledge I’ve acquired from this course. It is my goal to practice stress management so that I can be as efficient a nurse as possible during code situations.
