Today was the day...The day to see if I remembered everything that I had learned this semester. Today I went into my testing. I felt calm, cool, and collected. Today was not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I performed everything perfectly...well almost. I aced everything except transferring the client. Everything was going smoothly until I assisted my client into her chair. She had sat down in the chair and then that is when I realized it...I forgot to put a transfer belt on her. A transfer belt is a woven belt made of canvas that is placed around the client’s chest. This belt gives the nurse a place to hold onto the patient at.
Luckily I clued into this and I put the belt on her to bring her back to her bed. Unfortunately I remembered too late. This however is not a big deal. I caught on to what I did wrong and what I have to do for my retesting.
I cannot let this spoil my dreams. I just have to remember if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
To improve for next time I have included a video that shows how a proper transfer should be done.
