Re: What is happening at RGH in Beckley,WV?
Hi Wannabe,
A word of warning and advice, do not expect RGH nurses to be warm and fuzzy. They are just too overworked and understaffed to deal with students much, that is what the instructor is there to do. Do not take charts and keep them for extended periods of time, do not get around the desk to look things up in a computer and take up space, do not judge these nurses until you are working a shift on some of these floors, and do not expect them to do everything by the book at all times. Now, that I have scared you and made you rethink going to RGH, I want to say take the clinical time there and make the most of it. Relax, do your job as a students, help the floor nurses when you can, and take opportunities to learn. It can be a hectic place but learning is still possible there. Good luck.
