1. What do you mean I'm not a REAL nurse?!?

   BekahDavis replied to #Nurse2017's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for sharing this. Honestly, I am a new nurse and trying to get this mindset out of my own head (I am a hospital nurse). It must be subliminal or something. We are all part of the same biggg team! :)

2. UC Health Nurse Residency July 2017

   BekahDavis replied to SF BSN2b's topic in Colorado

   UVMgrad17, I tried to pm you back but it wouldn't let me because I don't have enough posts? So here's my reply: Hey! I liked Poudre valley more honestly because the interviewers seemed more open than Co Springs, and we actually had a conversation. My...

   UVMgrad17, hope your interviews went well! Sorry I wasn't able to share advice in time. I had a Colorado Springs one too and it was really fast! I think I'd prefer Fort Collins.

   Hi all, I had my interview for UC North (Fort Collins) on the medical floor today! I think it went well. They said they will let us know at the latest June 26 and so I'm hoping they let me know before then. Everyone else who had an interview please c...

7. Foley catheter tray placement?

   BekahDavis posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi, I am in my senior Capstone and have inserted a few Foley catheters in the OR. The OR nurses place the two trays in front of the patient legs and create their sterile field there from the start instead of prepping everything on a separate table. I...

   Union-Jack, during skills practice we have rubber hands/arms with fake blood running through them to practice on :) thanks everyone for your help!

9. IV insertion-met resistance?

   BekahDavis posted a topic in Infusion

   I am a nursing student and attempted to start an IV on an older patient today. She said that she can sometimes be a hard stick. I took my time and picked a vein in her hand that was kind of bouncy (the "bounciest" I could find) but also small and thi...

10. CNA vs. SHA (Self-help assistant)

    BekahDavis posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was just wondering what the difference is in duties between a CNA and an SHA. It probably varies state-by-state, but I couldn't find a ton of information online. I believe an SHA is employed by the government and does not necessarily need to have a...

11. Clumsy and nervous!

    BekahDavis replied to BekahDavis's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for all the help guys! I feel a little less nervous now :) I will definitely try to find ways to improve my coordination. I also think for me just focusing on the task at hand helps too. I realize now that a lot of nursing school is practice a...

    So I've wanted to be a nurse almost my whole life. I love caring for people and helping people. I've already been accepted into the nursing program (BSN) at my school, but I don't start til next fall. I'm a really tall, clumsy person generally, and ...
