First Day Of Mentorship

I've visited Casa Colina couple of times before school started. During my time there, I had my first orientation of the hospital and then I was introduced to my advisers who are in charged in the department that I was assigned to. During the tour, I observed how the staff was courageous and how the hospital is very nice and neat. At my second orientation, I was introduced to where I was placed which was at Patient Safety. The three advisers of the department introduce themselves and explained the Patient Safety Program and duties. After that, one of the advisers gave a tour of the east and west wing of the hospital and showed where each office and cleanlinens and supply closets were located. Then an other adviser explained the proper way to wash hands and rub handitizer correctly. Then were given at clinical orientation about patient safety and what each patient wrist bands meant, like yellow wrist bands are for patients that are in risk in falling and isolation precaution signs were. Also explained each code meant like code blue is patient not breathing and what communication boards were used for; patient info, contacts, nurses, allergies, etc. I haven't had a lot of hands on volunteering experience there, so every Saturday I will be going there for three to four hours there to gain more knowledge about Patient Safety.
