survived first clinical

Westminster Oaks was a beautiful facility.  I have lived here my entire life (although not for the past 15 years).  I remember the original facility and man has it come a long, long way.  I really enjoyed my time with my client.  She was so relaxed when I performed vital signs that I even got her BP right!!!
My client suffers from Alzheimer's and that made for a challenging day; however, she was so sweet and truly excited to have someone spend the day with her that every 30min or so it was like Christmas to her (each time I reintroduced myself and my purpose).
I look forward to our next clinical and hope that I walk away feeling as good as I did Wednesday!!

  1. Wow, that's awesome. I'm glad you lucked out and got a sweet patient. I really felt like that was an extremely rewarding experience! I definitely think that made their day, most of those patients don't have very many visitors so it made me feel like I truly made a difference. So glad we got through the first clinical experience! haha
