12/7/15 Assignment

When I first began my internship at the Guilford Clinic, I thought it would be hectic and busy. I imagined that working in an emergency clinic would require a high-paced person, but to my relief, I have found out that this career allows for all people to work. Now that it is colder and in the middle of flu-season, we are at our busiest time. I usually help see 20 patients in 4 hours. There are rush hours around 11:00 am through roughly 12:30 am, but afterwards, there is always a calmer period where we can all eat lunch and relax more. I assumed the clinic would be much busier, but because I do not want to feel overwhelmed, I am happier with the amount of patients and work we have now. Overall, this workplace and career are excellent choices for me and everyone qualified. At Guilford, there are busier days with 100 patients, and there are slower days with only 40, so I must be adaptable to all situations. I must also be a hard worker that is not afraid to help and learn. Whether it is bringing new patients in, helping other nurses and doctors out, doing paperwork, or treating patients, there is always something to do, so it is crucial that I am a hard worker. Also, it is important that I be willing to learn and help. When working there, you can spend an entire day with your coworkers, so it is very important that you create bonds so that you can help each other. At the end, if you are a qualified nurse or doctor looking for an emergency clinic, the Guilford Clinic is an excellent choice and place!
