Beds and Baths!

I really enjoyed the rehab experience at TMH, although it was much slower paced than I had anticipated. I guess this is because the patients are there to get therapy and rest so there wasn't too much going on besides routine checks and baths. I did get to help with two bed baths and I'm thankful to have had the experience. It's much different moving a real person who is older and frailer than our classmates we practiced on! We also had two contact isolation rooms so we were able to cover up with gowns and gloves. We had lots of bed making practice as well and I must remember to always lower the bed after! Always. Overall, I learned a lot at this clinical and feel way more comfortable now working with real patients. Can't wait for next Friday, especially because our group has a late shift! Yay for sleeping in:-)
