I've been working on my own now, without a preceptor, for just over a year. Finally! The details are coming together! My understanding is starting to gel. This month I've had a lot of complicated patients and I've been working in the step-down unit quite a bit, which I'm really enjoying even though there's a lot of suffering back there. I feel like I'm a better healthcare provider: When my patient is vented, I feel there's more emotional connection. I like the details! I like the charting! I like it when I can fix my patient's problem. And I like playing the supportive role to the patient and family through the dying process.
Just wondering......Do you ever feel like you should have done somethng different from what you are doing now, in regards to healthcare? (2) Has it paid off for you....you know when they say "keep doing it, its worth it"
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of what I do. I have never for once thought about another profession outside healthcare. I think I truly make a difference.I just dont help treat a disease,but also treat the patient and often the family too. . I think I make a difference in people's lives. Just call me a patient advocate.
