Today was another clinic day, and Chanel and I were assigned to triage in the morning. For each patient we took heights and weights, and for babies we also measured their head circumference and for adults we took their blood pressures. It was difficult getting used to measuring in kilograms and centimeters instead of pounds and inches, and then having to yell them out in Spanish to the nurse documenting them, but it was fun getting to hold the little guys as their parents were measured!
We were finished relatively quickly in triage, and then moved into the nurse's office where immunizations are performed. Chanel had JUST stuck herself the day before, but she jumped right in! We helped immunize several children and adults (including our bus driver, Luis!), and then we had two school classes come in. After all of the kids we did at the school we were well prepared this time!
