We've been having BSN nursing students ride with us for the past 3 weeks and will be with us for another 6 weeks. I have thoroughly enjoyed having the students ride with me. Yesterday I had a recert visit to do on a patient with advanced ALS, vent dependent, J-tube, foley, PICC line and port-a-cath. One student jumped up "I'm going with you"!!!! I let her do the assessment which she really nailed and let her change the PICC drsg and she nailed that too. She was soooo excited. She wants to work in ICU after graduation this May. Said this is the closest I've gotten to an ICU type patient. She desperately wanted to suction the patient but the pt didn't need it. These students have been such a joy to have around. I never realized nursing students rotated through HH. I'm glad they do!!
