Service Learning Experience
My service learning experience was located at Memorial Hospital on the Cardiac floor. This experience brought a brightened confidence accompanied by a welcomed knowledge of the field of nursing and the people I will be facing on a daily basis as a nurse. I grasped the importance of helping those in need and a respect grew for the medical staffs that were there to help. The times that I’ve spent there, was taking care of the older adult population; assisting them to the bathroom, straighten up their room, giving them ice when needed and especially answering their call lights. This was a time where nurses had the opportunity to chart on their patients and their workload became a bit less. In addition, I noticed many things with the older adults; they appreciated someone just spending time with them and I enjoyed making them smile, and the stories they had to offer behind those smiles
