This is the eighth week of my practicum, and I can attest that the balance between work and practicum was becoming so fixed. I get to learn many new things each day. I have learned that assessing gastrointestinal problems is a hectic process that requires time and proper analysis and examinations since it can be mistaken for various things. I have to keep the pace by updating myself by doing extra reading and practice. Regardless, I feel more relaxed, knowledgeable, and confident since I can handle more activities and procedures than before. I independently handled this part with minimal assistance. In the future, I am looking forward to providing quality care by being more proactive and delivering accurate and on-time results to my patients, supported with education and plan that they will never forget
