Clinical Instructor Update

I heart Mr. Mendyka even more now. Today we had skills lab from 8-4pm and his outfit today was awesome.  He was wearing a blue sweater from a university that he worked for. He explained that it was given to all of the employees instead of a raise, lol. He was also wearing white pants and his shoes, OH MY GOSH, his shoes. They were ohio state shoes!!!!!

Awesome, huh??!! he is so cool. 

He also had more valuable lessons to teach us today. He talked about the many, many fields of nursing that he's worked for. I can't even begin to tell you. Mostly ICU's from every field. He talked about the different areas that he got his education for, as well as his Ph.D. I'm not sure if he said he studied nursing anthropology but it was something of that sort. He worked in another country as a nurse taking care of Native Americans who had HIV/AIDS. How amazing is that?? He then talked about how that created his view of nursing and how we must become one or family so to say with the people we're around, whether it's in another country, or the hospital. Man, he is such a wise guy. I know I'll have more to say about him later. I'll keep you updated. :)
