This morning, we started out with a zoom call going over one of the longer-term projects we would be doing over the course of the internship. After separating so that we could get started on it, we joined a call with the head of business development and sales to go over another project that we would be doing, which involved creating an email marketing campaign for the company.
After that, I separated from the group so I could shadow one of the nurses as she did some procedures at a skilled care facility in a Durham hospital. While at the facility, I was able to watch the nurse do both a midline and a PIV, and I even got to use the ultrasound machine to identify the vein, artery, and nerve bundles. She walked me through the procedures that she performed, and I was able to learn a lot about not just the procedures themselves, but also the nursing profession as a whole!
I was unable to include photos of going to the hospital for obvious reasons, but I did include a helpful diagram to explain the different procedures that the nurse does on a day-to-day basis! I got to watch her do the midline today.
