My second Weeks of Internship


In my second weeks of internship In the nursing floor I was talking with patients because they been there for so long and they fell lonely. So I went to talk to them to make them fell better. I was also changing the water for them. In the patient transport I was taking the patient to their nursing floor and I take them to the lobby, and the patients fell very happy to go back to their houses.

The lesson of the history that you tell us is that if an student went to his/her internship is to work not to play and even if you mentor took to you badly you don't have to say that you want to change side because teenager face many problem. I think a best way to explain your mentor what you did for the end of the day is to write in a journal to remember everything you did so when you mentor will ask you what you did you will not be afraid or forget all the thing you did for the day. To be able to record all the thing that I have been learning and doing in my internship is to write in a journal when I will be in the train so that will help me to remember when I will star to explain everything that I did in my intership
