Today I got to use a stethoscope in my anatomy and physiology lab, It proved to be more difficult than I had anticipated...
The lab procedure said that we were going to find our lab partners heartbeat but I couldn't find my lab partners heart beat, she is already an LPN and she told me that it can be tricky at first but I should try and find my own heartbeat... I COULDN'T FIND IT!!!!
I was so upset, I started to question if the nursing is a field I could actually be in if I couldn't even find a heartbeat!!!
I stayed after almost everyone else had gone and asked another student if I could practice finding her heartbeat.
I still couldn't find it!!!
I was getting frustrated when another classmate asked if the stethoscope was on, I thought she was pulling my leg but she showed me that if you twist the end it makes the sound louder!!!!
I was sooo excited that I could hear the "lub-dub" of her heart and it was so nice of her to take a few seconds to show me how to use the stethoscope!! Not only did I hear her heart, but I saw it because she took the time to teach me something.
It is amazing how helpful you can be and it takes hardly any time at all!!!
I'm going to try and remember that when I think I'm too busy in my day, to stop and take a moment to explain something, or help someone else out!!!
Love and "lub-dub",
Kaitlin
