Last Week of Long Term Care

I can't believe this is our last week in long term care. What a shock. I can remember the first day and how nervous I was to even shadow the CNA on my wing. I remember how I felt the first time I assisted with pericare and cleaning up an incontinent patient after a BM. I remember how anxious I felt when doing my first chemstick. Now, after just 6 days in our LTC rotation, I am so much more at ease. I still don't feel 100% with everything but I know that practice and experience will make it much easier to get used to and feel more confident with. Good luck to all of you in our last week!
