NO she/he did not:

Mine:

NO SHE DID NOT WALK INTO CLASS WITH a RED THONG CLEARLY SHOWING UNDER HER UNIFORM!:smackingf

Oh no the same instructor that just taught 100 students the cardiac unit did not just argue with the student during a head-to-toe assesment exam that the 5th intercostal, mid-clavicular, APICAL site was the location of the TRICUSPID valve.... :angryfire

....furthermore she did not tell the same student that the S1 heart sound was louder at the base and the S2 louder at the apex :stone

....I had to produce the textbook SHE taught out of in order to not fail my assesment exam!

SHEESH...and I am paying for this :uhoh3:

***take a BS of 1.3 mmol (23 in US?) and not document it anywhere or tell anyone for three hours...

***on her first clinical at a LTC, wheel a pt down the hall to her room on a shower table soaking wet and naked... (incidently she flunked out)

***give that suicidal schitzophrenic(sp) pt a razor because he asked her for one...(in her defence he had been transfered to the med-surg floor and no one warned the students of his status)

thankfully, these were not me.

No she did not just ask the patient with guillian-barre (sp?) who is not able to swallow and has a peg tube is she having any problems eating or drinking? Yes that was me. The look on her face shot me back into reality. I had even commented several times before going into her room that it must suck not to be able to eat or drink because her muscles were so weak she couldn't swallow. My instructor was like no you didn't??? hey it was my 2nd day of clinical 1 st semester!!

No she didn't...

While in 2nd semester I had the dubious honor of being the first one in my class to have a patient die while we were in clinicals. Bad scene - I called the code just as the daughter was entering the room. Had to literally tackle her to get her out of the way of the crash cart. Too long a code, too many family members grieving for way too long. Body was good and stiff when I had to do decedant care and take her to the morgue (what an education THAT day was). Instructor never even checked to see how I was holding up.

When it was time to go, I asked the instructor what I should do about my care plan homework for the night. She told me I still needed to do one, so make believe the woman had lived!

OMG, I can hear it now..."You will write that care plan! Whether your patient is alive or not, I want to see a care plan tomorrow! With no less than three interventions!"

:chuckle

Gotta love school...

Third semester, this is for my study buddy:

No she DID NOT just check that man's prosthetic leg for a pulse thinking it was the real deal!!! :eek:

That's funny...when I had an admit one time another nurse came to help me and she said "did you notice how edematous and shiny that womans leg is? You should address that in her care plan" I said "did you notice that leg is shiny and WOODEN??" She was so embarrassed...but we had a good chuckle! :rotfl:

This wonderful thread shows that even the best make honest mistakes that we can all laugh about later... This thread actually teaches students like myself about things that may happen to us; or we can learn to avoid these mishaps by thinking about these posts.

Thanks for the honesty and the donations made to this thread. Wonderful!:p

You'll get a lot more responses and suggestions to this question if you start a new thread in General Nursing. :icon_hug:
