Today I was given my own patients, which meant I had to research their charts, speak with them directly, and come up with some sort of intervention regarding nutrition. Maybe they weren't eating enough, or they had difficulty swallowing due to dysphagia. Whatever the problem was, I had to address it in the chart note. My favorite part about this career is that I have the perfect balance between patient care and research. Probably 1/3rd of my day would be working directly with patients while the rest of the day consists of researching their charts trying to figure out what could be going on with their health. I love working with people so I would never want to do away with that, but it is nice to spend a little time on my own as well throughout the day researching, charting, etc.
I actually have a lot of work to do tonight so I'm going to make this post short and sweet. Miniature snickers.
