Only charting?

That's okay, you're clearly just one of the students that doesn't notice very much. But we RNs notice the students who don't notice things.... and we let your facilitators know.... who let your university know. Your placements will be boring and you won't get a critical care rotation at the end... because patients lives depend on you noticing more and being able to think.

It's okay because she is a new student in her first clinical semester and learning the observation skills of a nurse is literally what you are in school for. If you already knew everything on day 1, you wouldn't need to go to school. OP is probably a fine student and will learn as she goes through her program and graduate with as much ability as any of us had as new grads. For goodness sakes.

I really hope you are not talking to the OP. I hope you are referring instead to the NP-wannabe. The OP, the person who posted this thread deserves our support. The other one, not so much.

On a side note, once had a schizophrenic patient. Got him some water, and he poured it out. Requested bottled water. Add that on to the rest of my assessment, I could tell that his paranoia was getting worse. Well just like how I am "just a nurse" I was definitely "just fetching" water and not assessing his psychosocial wellbeing at that time.
