Favorite Experience

Throughout my internship so far, I think that I have had two favorite experiences. The first one was the very first day of my internship when I got to shadow the medical assistant. I just found that to be so interesting, and I really feel like I got to be hands on, and actually help the patients, and like I learned a lot that day. This was one of my favorite days because it allowed me to work so closely with the patients, and kind of experience an aspect of the profession I want to go into. The work that I do now is great too, but its not quite as rewarding, and not quite as relavant to what I want to do after college which is being a nurse. But I am greatful for any experience that I can get in the medical field not only because it looks good on my nursing program applications, but also because it is getting me comfortable, and used to working in a hospital setting. This is good because when I actaully start working in a hospital, or if I get another internship in college I will have more experience and be more qualified for the position than some of the peers I will be up against.
My other favorite experience was when I was working in the referrals department, and I had to make an appointment for an older couple who happened to be in the clinic that day. They had their grand daughter with them, and after I made the appointment for them, they had an appointment in the clinic, while the two were in the doctors room the little girl followed me all throughout the clinic, watching me, and trying to talk to me (which was kind of hard because she didn’t speak very much English). This was one of my favorite experiences because it allowed me to see how closely I am able to work with the patients, and it was just nice and fun to get to take a little break from working and to get to play with the little girl.
