In February i started my internship in Marien Krankenhaus, Bergisch Gladbach, on the orthopedic station. My experience on this station was very positive, and i feel that it gave me a good introduction to patient care. I stayed on the orthopedic station until the first or second week in March, then i moved to the station for inner medicine. To say the least, this was a shock. At the time, a noro-virus was going around, and my first day was spent up to my elbows in foul-smelling diarrhea. Thank God, this virus went away! My time on the station for inner medicine has allowed me a more intensive view of patient care, especially for difficult to care for patients. It turns out, i really enjoy what i've been doing- despite the not-so-pleasant sides of nursing. Unfortunately, there is a death about every week, and this is sometimes a little bit sad. For the last three or so weeks of my praktikum, i should have the opportunity to observe a few surgeries and procedures, and will continue working on the station for inner medicine.
