1. Second Guessing Myself. Did I handle this situation correctly?

   Hmm this made no sense. Those S/S are not typical for sepsis unless he has a septic emboli, but if CT at admission did not show hemorrhagic stroke and the 2nd CT was positive for hemorrhagic stroke then you did the right thing by calling the stroke a...

   The patient came in with those symptoms...he may already have a stroke...tho not 100% sure from the post so it may not be a suspected CVA. See my post above for explanation. I used to be Neuro ICU responding to stroke alert.

   candicenguyen replied to RosalindaRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am a bit confused with your post. You said your patient came in with those symptoms (but worse ) and neg CT without contrast? So sound like the patient had a stroke when he came in. Just to make it clear you know but the purpose of CT without cont...

   Are you trying to say new nurses are the same as experienced (older nurses)...There are exceptions...but overall, experienced nurses tend to know more.

   One again, if you have no constructive feedback, please save your time and my time. I voiced my experience with nursing school...agree or not, it is my experience. Do I sit here and try to argue with you about your perspective and experience or ...

   Sorry I am busy with medical school and research I don’t have to write the whole story for you...so if you want to give constructive advice I would appreciate it. If not, I don’t think I need to spend my time sitting here answering all your irrelevan...

   I am sorry but if a school with attrition of 50%, they should not be opened and teach...even med school attrition rate is higher than that.

   Don’t you ever want to help your family member? “Some”...most clinical instructors in the areas are nurses who are working just like me...some are newer nurses than me...so ya “experience”...whatever LOL...

    If you spend as much time to read through the post as you make assumptions about the student that would be rate. The school degree attrition is 50%...that says a lot about the school quality ?‍♀️

    Thank you for not making an assumption. Unfortunately he is in his final semester, so he invested a bunch. The problem with few nursing schools around here is they want to make money and graduate nurses. They don’t have enough clinical sites for them...

    candicenguyen replied to candicenguyen's topic in General Students

    Before you all make an assumption about the person's fault. Just FYI: the school attrition rate is 50%. This is a very sad figure OK. They barely have many rotations even before COVID time. They replace it with simulation. I already thought that was...
