MANDATORY -- 1st year -- Why do you want to be a nurse? When did you decide you wanted to be a nurse? Did anyone or anything influence your decision?

Initially nursing wasn't my first choice, I wanted to study medicine but I didn’t pass the test, so I decided to try the health professions’ one, in particular for pediatric nursing, and it was the best choice I have ever done. I was not sure of this choice but, after starting the lessons and especially the internship, I understood that this is my true path. I like being in contact with children, making them feel special, helping them feel good, hearing from parents: "look, there's your favorite nurse" makes me feel even better and I understand that maybe I'm really heading towards the right path. My parents are very proud of me: they always support me in every decision I make and they tell me to do what is the best for me, that makes me feel good and happy.

We are in the ward. There is me, the nurses and 12 patients. A patient has been discharged and one of the my nurse supervisors asks me to me to remove his agocanula.

(M: me, P: patient)

M: Hi, how are you today?

P: I feel much better today, thank you

M: Let’s take off the cannula so you can go home, do you agree?

P: yes, of course

M: Don’t be worried, it won’t hurt.

In the meantime,while distracting him, I take the agocannula off.

P: Thank you so much, you didn’t hurt me at all

M: You’re welcome, I’m happy you didn’t feel anything.

I go back to my nurses, and in the meantime the patient tells the mother:

P: Mom, from now on, when it’s 2 a.m. you will take me here, they’re good at their job.

Patient’s mom: Love, yes, but let’s hope we don’t have to come back (ahahah). Come on, let’s go home.

Vaccination is a very important process. Right from birth, you need to get vaccinated to prevent many diseases. The COVID vaccine might have been scary at first, but it was necessary to do so, to put an end to the pandemic. So let's try to get vaccinated as much as possible, not only for COVID but also for other diseases, such as the papilloma virus or HPV, because it is important not only for ourselves but also for the fragile people around us.

How did you feel about your first rotation? What ward were you in?

Who did you work with? How did you feel at the end of your first shift?

I did my first internship in OBI, Short Intensive Observation, it is part of the DEA, which is divided into OBI, emergency room and red area. I have to admit that the first week was a bit difficult because I found myself in a new and unknown environment, so I had to adapt myself to this new experience. As the weeks went by, I became more familiar with the department and the nurses, but above all with the patients. In the ward I was with a university colleague of mine: we were always accompanied by different nurses supervisors and we also interacted with the doctors both during the rounds and during the briefings. At the end of my first internship I was satisfied with all the work I did, proud of myself. Now I have started the second part of the internship and I hope it will go even better.
