Working in this hospital adding a great deal of knowledge when it comes to basic care to more advanced invasive care. After gaining a good basic in nursing care in my internship programs, MICU is allowing me to expand and continue developing my abilities as a professional nurse by learning the advance aspects and invasive skills for the nursing care, including; Central line and PICCO line insertion and monitoring (CVP, SVR, CO, Preload and afterload), bronchoscopy, rapid sequence intubation as well as routine, tracheostomy, urgent chest tube insertion, needle decompression of tension pneumothorax, ascitic draining.

Heart Hospital and medical unit in HGH clinical shifting
Hamad General Hospital
09.2016 - 02.2017
- Both of these semesters I had the chance to take care of critically ill patients whose condition became more stable. Fall 2016 (HH, in patient), I took care of patients with a lot of co-morbidities, but the main focus were regarding their heart condition. I was able to take care of two patient under the supervision of my instructor. I was able to develop appropriate nursing care plan based on my assessment skills. Winter 2017 (medical floor) was similar experience to the HH with more shifting hours (same as regular staff nurse schedule). During this clinical placement I had the chance to observe and participate in code blue as well as RRT. During this clinical placement I was more exposed to unstable conditions (like uncontrolled HTN, low O2 sat, tachypnea, and alerted level of consciousness...) and react to it according to the guideline of practice.
Selected topics in nursing (oncology)
