This summer I had the opportunity to go home for the summer and work at my family doctors office. Dr. Harney is not only a great doctor, but a great employer. He let me work along side of his nurses and eventually do everything they normally do minus the paperwork. I was able to give shots, EKG's, assist in exams and surgerys.
The first few days I just followed Marcy and Sonya, his RN's. After that I was allowed to start doing things by myself. I learned that doing things hands on is the best way to learn.
I was so blessed to have my first real nursing experience at Dr. Harney's office. He made the work atmosphere so much fun. His staff were absolutely great! They would always take time to teach me things that I would need to know in nursing school. I am definatly going to miss this over the next few semesters and i hope that I will be able to work with them again next summer!
