But I only worked with my mentor one day out of the whole week and we did a lot of patient paper work and logging in stuff into the computer.

We worked with the patients a week and had to do alot of medication giving and rounds and all that good stuff.

Blog-8 Independent Component 1 Proposal

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

• For my 30 hours of my independent component i will be working extra with my mentor. Aside from only going on Thursdays, i will extend that and go another day of the week as well. The down side of my mentors schedule is that she does not work weekends so i wont be able to work with her on weekends.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

• Well to prove that i have gone an extra day a week that includes only my 30 hours and not my mentor-ship is by taking a volunteer sheet and making my mentor fill it out.  

3.  Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

• By doing extra hours with my mentor, it will help me go into more depth about my topic because i will be able to learn a lot more and spend more hours with my mentor. That will be convenient for her and i because doing only one day a week isn't enough to learn all the aspects of nursing.
