I learned something!

Along with my sponsor, we visited the 7th floor (surgical floor) to attend a nurse's informational meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to inform all nurse's on how to work the Bipap and Cpap breathing machines. First walking in, the nurse's were given quizzes to see what they already knew. A bipap machine is a breathing machine that basically breathes for the patient, the patients would not have a choice but to breathe when hooked up to this machine. The Cpap machine only assists with the patients breathing, so that if the patient was breathing irregularly and not entirely on their own, the Cpap would help out with that. I'm not sure, but I suspect the lady giving the lesson was a head nurse on the floor. But that is what took out of the lesson given by her. Once we left, my sponsor proclaimed, "I wished that they would teach like that in school!". She found it easier to follow along, as they were given a slide show, and expected to take notes on what was said.
