Hi everyone! I’ve just finished up my clinical rotation at King’s County Hospital, Brooklyn and I will be starting my staff relief next week! It’s been the most amazing experience I’ve ever had, and I wish it could continue.
I have seen a variety of diseases that I would’ve never imagined. My preceptors have helped me learn so much in such a short amount of time that it has opened up so many options for me. I’ve been working with every possible population of patients I can think of; CHF, Oncology, ESRD, MICU, SICU, Peds ICU, NICU and even COVID-19 patients. My most proud rotation was doing parenteral nutrition for preemie babies. It was so awesome to learn TPN for such small babies (under 700 grams!) that I decided to ask for extra time on it. Being exposed to pediatrics and the NICU, which is extremely lucky for an intern, taught me that I have a passion for it. For my concentration, Critical Care MNT, I will be helping to update NICU feeding protocols according to the latest research and helping the attendings better understand the nature of TPN.
This experience has been very validating to know that I enjoy the clinical inpatient setting. Constantly having new patients and learning to work with so many different people at once is thrilling. It’s so exciting to constantly be on my toes, trying new things to suit the patient’s needs best. Tube feeds have become second nature to me!
I feel that I’m getting exactly what I’m putting into this experience, and it’s been a privilege. Sodexo has been amazing in helping me ensure that my experience is the best it can be. I feel so lucky every day when I enter the hospital and get to learn from the smartest people how to do the job I love. I felt nervous starting this internship that it wouldn’t measure up to what I imagined in real life, but it’s been even better. It sounds cheesy, but it’s 100% true. I feel very confident in my choice, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.
