My mentor's name is Diana Guevara, RN LAC+USC Medical Center
The most important thing I gained from my experience was the ability to improve my communication skills through my mentorship. Being able to volunteer at an actual hospital gave me the opportunity to communicate with different medical professionals and patients. I learned so much from just shadowing my mentor. I learned how to make patients feel comfortable no matter what situation they're in. By interacting with patients it gave me more motivation to pursue a job in the medical field.
My mentorship has helped me answer my essential questions because I was able to interview and communicate with different medical professionals. Different registered nurses, nurse practitioners and midwifes shared their wisdom and knowledge to learn more about my topic and my essential question. Most of their knowledge always ended up going to back to the fundamentals of any patient care which was communication which I really improved on. It is crucial to make any patient feel comfortable and safe in a hectic medical environment.
