Care Student – Your Information Survey on Health Insurance!
Being a doctor has always been my dream and that is why I have worked very hard to fulfill this dream. I did very well with my high school diploma, but I had to do some further work to be able to study human medicine at the university. For this reason I decided to do a voluntary service for one year.
In this year you get to know people, gain a lot of experience in the medical field and also this year brings points for the admission to the university. I started my FSJ at the UKE in the cardiac center and have been there for about three months. Now I'll explain to you how things work there: as FSJs we have two shifts - early duty and late duty.
In the early shift we start at 6:30 to make a handover. In the handover, the nurses who worked in the night shift tell us more about the patients, for example, what their health condition is, what news has come up and so on. Then at 7:00 we start our tour. In this tour we distribute medications, measure vital signs and document what we have done and if we find anything unusual, we also note it down so that the doctors and the other nurses can also see it. This round usually takes 3 hours and then we can have our breakfast break together with the other nurses.
Our breakfast break is usually only half an hour. In this half hour we eat together and talk about the ward procedures. After the break we just help each other if someone wasn't quite ready and clean up the ward and especially the lab. Then it's time to hand out lunch tablets. Now our second tour starts. In this round we distribute the lunch tablets and ask the patients if everything is good and if they need anything. Finally, we take blood pressure and temperature (vital signs) again. After the second round, we admit our scheduled patients and take care of them. We get the room ready and read in their records what is going to be done and after that we get oriented. At the end of the day we make the handover for the next colleagues working in the late shift and explain what we have done, who is new and what is the status of the patients. At 2:30 p.m. we call it a day. The procedure is the same for the late shift.
I hope that I could explain to you with this short report how my day in the hospital looks like.
