Under HIPAA regulations, I cannot allow others to view the patient confidential information that I had in my hand. As we got to our stop I told the patient to follow me through the mechanical doors. I told the patient to wait in cubical 2 and that the nurse will be with then in a few moments. In addition, I will be getting them a warm blanket once I come back. I headed to leave the binder at the receptionist desk in the OR where they had another patient pick-up waiting for me. Before I left, I went to get the patient a warm blanket from the storage area that had temperature control. I gave it to the patient and left. Ronnie saw me and asked me if I did the patient pick-up alone, I said yes and he was surprised. Usually he needed to teach others in order to know what exactly they had to do. The only reason why I knew that I had to do everything that I did was because Ronnie told me everything verbally. He did not have to show me what to

I went to the Kennebunk Veterinary Hospital on March 8, 2016. This was my fourth week of clinicals but my first day at this site. I went there around ten minutes early and they took me right back. Everyone was very nice and welcoming towards me. My supervisor was not there but she should be next week. When I got to the back room I met all of their doctors, Dr. Shively, Dr. Odrzywolski, and Dr. Porell. I shook hands with them and introduced myself. They then brought me over to one of their veterinary technician, Kathy. She was very nice and gave me a tour of the place. She introduced me to the other technicians and the office staff then showed me the patient rooms. Kathy also showed me their back room where they keep the pets that are staying overnight and their cat that lives there. She was also showing me how

I arrived at clinical 0630 and picked up patient information the morning of. I reviewed all assigned diagnoses, medications, labs, and orders with my assigned students, and we discussed our plan for the day.

Upon arriving at Hays Medical Center, my classmates and I met on the third floor for preconference. I grabbed a computer and logged into my client’s chart to see if there were any new orders.

After giving report, I met up with my senior two, Brendell. We proceeded down to the acute floor. I found my client’s room and waited for report from my nurse. I went ahead and introduced myself to my patient and explained to him that I would be helping today, that if he needed anything he should hesitate to ask. I went forward with my bedside assessment, making sure to do everything

They took lots of notes and said the doctor would be in shortly. Micah sat on the table and played his color Game Boy while we waited. The doctor came in and immediately connected with Micah. He was wonderful. He played with him and totally put Micah at ease. He checked Micah from head to toe, counted and measured Micah’s cafe-au-lait spots, and noted the freckling in the groin. Kevin and I watched and
