My Time At The Hospital

American Fork Hospital

Hospitals. Some people hate them, some people love them. For me, hospitals reminds me of my future goals and they motivate me to continue the path which I have started. Every time I walk into one I picture myself working in only a few short years fulfilling my dreams and loving every second of it. Lately I have been at the American Fork hospital once a week volunteering/interning. It has been such a wonderful experience. I started out in the E.R. and I couldn't have been more excited. I have always wanted to work in the E.R. High impact, working under pressure and not to mention the crazy injuries and stories people have when they come in; all of these aspects drew me to the E.R. So many interesting people walked through those doors while I was there and seeing injuries while learning about what to do for each one fascinated me. But for some reason I became bored with the E.R. and last week I switched to the NURSRY, specifically the NICU. It has only been two weeks and I love it! Every time I go in such a strong feeling of love and compassion comes over me. Last night after feeding one of the babies I held him for about an hour or so just rocking him back to sleep. During this time I couldn't help but turn my thoughts to the Lord and realize that these babies are MIRACLES sent from him. These babies, all babies for that matter, are little angles. So perfect and amazing. Although I cannot do anything technical working in the NICU, and for the most part I just help with holding and feeding babies, I LOVE it so much and I could not ask for anything better. I am definitely blessed for this amazing opportunity.

I like to think Im official when I wear this badge.
Unfortunately I am only a volunteer, but one day I will have that badge that says RN, BSN
Heres to looking forward!
