Hi there! My name’s Lexi Linsenman and I’m an intern from Region 9 in St. Louis, Missouri. Sodexo is worldwide and I’m so lucky to have matched with my home town! I am making amazing connections in health care, community, and food service that will last a lifetime.
Just recently, I was allowed back into the hospital to complete my clinical rotation. Going from quarantine to a location with COVID patients was a very different change of pace. I feel safe there, though, with all the procedures put into place. I enjoy talking with the patients and how each day is different. Today, I consulted a lady who had CHF and educated her on a low sodium diet. Then, I was able to sit in her CABG procedure. Seeing this full circle care gives me so much respect for the medical team.
Advice I would give to interns, and anyone reading this really, would be to just START! Make moves!! You have to be an advocate for yourself and go for what you want. This internship is very much what you make it.
