My Mentorship

Every single day at the Guilford Immediate Care is busy. The thing that is very unique is that you never expect what is going to be the problem. My mentors and I have been seeing different kinds of symptoms each time that I go. The regular routine that happens is a patient signs in at the front desk. The paperwork gets done at the front desk with the receptionist. The receptionist comes to the nurses station to give the paperwork for the patient to be seen. I always wait diligently waiting for patients to check in. The nurses have to check if there is a room available. I am trying to memorized where each room and their number by which they are known. Then my mentors call the patients from the waiting room. You never know who to expect once you call their name. The patient is weighed and is taken vital signs by me. The patient is taken to a room and  be asked various questions.  Then we leave the patient alone in the room to wait for the doctor. I am glad that I get to learned new things every time I go.

My General Medicine class that I took my sophomore year is the class that changed  my life. I didn’t know much about healthcare science. I knew that I wanted to go into the field when I took a career personality test. Health Care was my top choice, and the class helped me understanding more about specific careers. I knew that I wanted to be some type of nurse but not a specific one. I know more about basic things that go on in the healthcare field.
