First day of work!
This morning we woke up early and had breakfast together at 7 AM. We then packed up our stuff and went to the Hospital General San Juan de Dios. We went on a tour then divided into teams. The different areas are the ER/OR, Labor and Delivery, Neonatal Unit, and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I worked with Chris and Jim in the ER/OR. We wore scrubs as we tested equipment that monitors ECG, blood pressure, and SPO2. We had a delicious lunch break and then got back to work. It is a great experience being so close to the operating rooms and interacting with the doctors and nurses here. Some groups are working on cleaning up incubators and fixing broken equipment in the other areas. It has been a great first day thus far! -Jessica

Jim, I'm glad the trip is going well. I gave out this blog to the Clear Clan so check it for messages. Of course they will have to figure out how to blog, which took me about 24 hours. FYI, Vandy beat South Carolina Saturday 96 to 83. Keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteJessica K, We do know how to blog. Glad to hear everything is going good so far.

So glad you're having fun, Wade! Wish I were with you. Spring Break has got to be the loneliest week EVER on campus. Missing you!
