1. Care plan help needed

   keno138 replied to sunshine12's topic in Student Assist

   For one, you would need to intervene with ADL's. Just use your brain for some others.

2. Job dynamic...

   keno138 replied to luluwags's topic in CRNA

   I'm not a CRNA. In fact, I'm still in the clinical stages of receiving my BSN, but I have shadowed CRNAs and done clinicals in the OR. Everyone always seemed like a big family and at times it was quite sociable. The CRNA had control of the IPOD.

3. I want to be a nurse but is nursing really that horrible??

   keno138 replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

   Healthcare in general is a place where you need to be able to get knocked down and keep on going. If you can't handle all the frustration then you might just die young from stress. I enjoy facing problems that I am responsible for fixing. I have cli...

4. Is OB/GYN an eye opening for young MALE student?

   keno138 replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

   I'm kind of in the same boat being a 22 y/o male nursing student. There are plenty of male healthcare workers out there in all fields. If something feels awkward, just keep a straight face and be professional. If you show feelings of awkwardness the ...

5. Who Watches ER?

   keno138 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

   I have to admit, I liked last nights episode of E.R. I don't know why I like House so much. The formula is always the same: 1. Random person doing something... boom syncope! 2. Can't figure out what is wrong with pt 3. House belittles people 4. Produ...

6. focus assessment/prioritizing

   keno138 replied to trayyhawk03's topic in Student Assist

   I still think I would first get a visual of the man yelling that he can't breathe.

7. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

   keno138 replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

   Do you think you would enjoy nursing? Becoming a CRNA doesn't happen overnight. This is something that only yourself can decide with more research.

8. focus assessment/prioritizing

   You may think about it like this... Who will die first? Treat the respiratory problem first.

9. student nurse

   keno138 replied to leanne24's topic in General Nursing

   i actually see this happening a lot, not only on skills check-offs, but also on exams.

10. The teacher from hell!

    keno138 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is my first semester in the program. Aside from going from an "A" student to a "B" student, everything is okay. There is one teacher however, who really worries me. I'm not just flaming her because of something she's done to me, I'm genuinely co...

11. why?

    keno138 replied to toocoolj87's topic in General Nursing

    Somtimes when I tell people I'm going into nursing they'll say, "great, maybe you'll go on to be a doctor." Ummm... no thanks. If I had wanted to be a doctor I would have gone pre-med. It's not like my grades weren't good enough. Many people just do...

12. Shaky hands? Nervousness in clinicals?

    keno138 replied to spuropathy's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same thing happen to me when I was doing my first foley cath. I have to do things a few times before I lose that shaky feeling. One thing that helped me was cutting out caffeine from my diet. I couldn't believe what a difference it made.

13. can i train my squemish stomach?

    keno138 replied to KOpal913's topic in General Nursing

    You really may not know if this has an impact on you until you experience it firsthand. I'm a student and I was afraid that my wound care rotation would bother me, but it didn't. One patient had a stage IV ulcer so large and with so much tunneling yo...

14. Nursing Student annoyed me

    keno138 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is what i'm wondering. As of now I give all my meds with my instructor. Afterwards, I notify the nurse and document it myself. Most of the nurses on my clinical floor love it when the students come in because we really handle our patient by ours...

15. It looks like a RR of 20

    keno138 replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    I'm a student and we've actually been taught to multiply if there are no irregularities.
