1st week-orientation & drug study & cholesystitis

During our first day at OLOP hospital, our clinical instructor provided us with an orientation about the hospital's background and various activities such as NCAR, NCP, drug study, and LFD that we needed to
submit to him. On the second day of my duty, I took care of a 58-year-old female patient who had undergone surgery for post-cholecystitis. I was responsible for providing wound care and closely monitoring
the patient for any signs of complications, such as bleeding or infection. Additionally, I assisted the patient in getting up and walking to promote mobility and prevent blood clots. I also educated the patient on
post-operative care, diet modifications, and activities of daily living.

2nd week- fistula & Iv removal & drug and IVF calculation lecture

During my second week of duty, I was responsible for taking care of a 42-year-old male patient who underwent fistulectomy. When the patient was brought to me, he was ready to be discharged on the same
day, so I removed his IV. Since it was my first time doing this, I learned that if the patient has hairy skin, you need to wet it to remove the stickiness of the micropore tape, and the tape should be removed one
by one to avoid causing pain. I also learned to remove the IV cannula immediately to prevent discomfort. Additionally, I created a discharge plan for the patient, which included advising him to take the
prescribed medication for pain and encouraging him to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Lastly, the calculations for IV fluids and medication administration became clear to me after Sir Mark discussed it in detail in one
of our sessions.

3rd week- Iv insertion & 4th and 3rd floor & hospital parahernalias & cleft palate

During my third week on duty, I was responsible for a 8-month old patient who had undergone a cheiloplasty surgery for a cleft palate. I monitored the patient's surgical site to ensure there was no excessive
bleeding and made sure that the intravenous (IV) fluids were sufficient. Later, Sir Aranda took us to the fourth floor, where private rooms are located, and to the third floor, where patients with positive cases
are placed. In addition to these duties, I also provided emotional support to the patient and their family and educated them on post-operative care, including wound care and diet modifications.

4th week- NCAR

During my fourth week of duty, we had a case presentation about a 45-year-old male who was admitted to Our Lady of Peace with Cardiovascular Disease Hemorrhage. The patient's chief complaint was
slurring of speech. As part of the case presentation, I conducted a drug study and presented to the group about the diagnosis of Impaired verbal communication related to cardiovascular hemorrhage. This was
evident from the patient's slurring of speech, difficulty speaking, and use of nonverbal cues.

Overall, my experiences at OLOP hospital have been incredibly valuable for my growth as a nursing student. I have learned important skills such as wound care, medication administration, and patient
education, as well as gained knowledge about various medical procedures such as cheiloplasty and fistulectomy. Additionally, case presentations and discussions with our clinical instructors helped me to
develop critical thinking skills and gain a deeper understanding of patient care. Through my experiences at OLOP hospital, I have realized the importance of treating patients with empathy and kindness, and
providing emotional support to both patients and their families.
