Does this really happen? Just curious

I'm so curious about this! After several stints as a patient in several different hospitals, I have yet to have a nurse give me a physical assessment. Seriously, did I just luck out with cruddy nurses or what? I don't get it. Never had a nurse give me an assessment, take me down for a test, ask me any personal therapeutic questions, ... nothing. Jeez, that would've been nice. VS and meds is about all I can remember a nurse actually doing for me. ...... maybe we're supposed to get so good at it that the pt doesn't realize?.... I don't get it.

    That's pretty much what I've experienced, too. *shrug*

    When you go to clinical do you have a 1:1 nurse/patient ratio? The nurses in the hospitals don't, and aren't able to devote all their time to one patient. They may have five, six or even more people to take care of. You'd also probably just had a pretty complete history and MDX right before or after admission.

    While HTTA may be an efficient way for NS's to learn, giving them to every patient in acute care, even right after a phys assess by an MD, would hardly be an efficient use of nursing resources.
