   Looking for a ride along on an ambulance. Didn't realize they had to be specialized. Interested in gaining experience.

2. Ride Along

   2bnursebeckky posted a topic in General Students

   Couldn't find any recent posts about ride alongs, so I created a new one! Interested in critical care, and doing a ride along in NYC. Does anyone know how to get something like that started? Thanks!

3. Not getting it as nurses- the view

   2bnursebeckky replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

   That is a GREAT point, I didn't think of it that way.

   I grew up in the AV!! I just moved... but, I've been looking at jobs at AV hospital! They have quite a few job openings! Not on topic, but definitely motivating! :) Good luck all.

5. I'm bored

   2bnursebeckky replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

   I felt the same way my first semester! You are not alone. I went so far as to call my Dad about the sitch- his response, "Are you getting a 4.0?" HA! Touche Daddy!! I'm in my 3rd semester now and just watched my first live birth! It is incredible, a...

6. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   Maybe. Possibly. Probably. I felt attacked. My apologies. I liked your comparison to the baker in your previous post. It brought a great perspective into my question. Feeling useless has got to be one of the worst feelings I've encountered (a bit dr...

   Yes, and now I have a little more insight.

   2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   I was working my way through the thread, but thank you for your noticing and being so quick of your feet! I have not been ignoring the ACTUAL NURSES. I've been studying for finals all weekend and this is my first chance to get online- forgive me if ...

9. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

   2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

   I've only been on two floors in two hospitals with two different groups of nursing students- but we've all been kind. I can't imagine nursing students being rude, and my apologies if you have experienced that. Thanks for the blunt end of the sword-...

    2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    OCRN3- it's a shame you've encountered students like that. I am not one of those students. I will (and have) done anything that is asked of me. I understand that many students may feel that sense of entitlement, but coming from this 30 y/o Navy veter...

    Janey486! Thank you so much for your thoughtful post. I understand what you are saying, and am encouraged by your words!

12. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    YES Aggie!! I feel the same. I am one final away from being half way though this program and I have skills. I come in knowing what I can do, relaying that to my nurse for the day and am typically left to dry. The two (out of six) great clinical expe...

13. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    But we are there to 'help'- we are there to learn, and help. Although we can't complete tasks flawlessly like the nurses, I assure you there are tasks that can be done by the bottom-feeding nursing students, I swear... I understand what patient acui...

14. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Maybe a better way to have presented my concern is to ask you (seasoned nurses) how I can better present myself as a helpful unit to you. I want to get the most out of my clinical experience, as you can imagine and hope to bring as much knowledge as...

15. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    2bnursebeckky replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I understand both of these points of view and appreciate the feedback. It is just really frustrating to be a student paying good money to lean against a wall for six hours. I hope that in the future, when I'm a nurse, I'll be more apt to this teachin...
