Most of the home owners in Canton‚ Ohio faced financial hardship and could not fund the extensive repair and renovation that their homes needed and thus relied on volunteer services for help. Through my time spent with Hammer and Nails I savored learning about the families within the community

Over the past few weeks I was able to learn an incredible amount during my time in the community clinical rotation. This rotation was not at all what I expected it would be. I was surprised by the diverse skill sets and leadership qualities required of the home health nurse. The clinical day that sticks out the most to me was the last day I spent with my nurse. Before noon my nurse had already seen six patients and attended a staff meeting. The amount of prioritization and organization she put in

After this experience‚ the rest of the clinical shift went astonishingly well. With that great self-confidence and the motivation to efficiently accomplish all the other tasks‚ I realized that the coordination with my partners was the primary influence towards my self-esteem today.

We started the shift by splitting up and individually going into the patient’s room to wake them up and ask if they
