im just wonderin how some of these nurses passed theyre boards. i am a stna and i was workin an this guy couldnt breathe he was really nervus and his 02 stat was 92 so i told the nurse he need a breathing treatment. she just looked at me lik i was crazy and kept doin whatever she was doin at the nurse station. so i put it on him and he said thank you thank you and he was better, but the nurse got mad at me!!! she should be the on mad at herself for not caring about her pateints and just sitting at the station when her patience are sick. im glad when i become a nurse i wont be like her :D

You're kidding? All that idiotic argument for a situation that you MADE UP? Seriously, it isn't even worth a response. Stay away from my patients. Please.

This is ridiculous. You should be concentrating on your English skills rather than this.

Sad you have nothing better to do, while professionals, CNAs and nurses alike, come to this site with real intent. They are looking to learn and share.

Anyone else know if AN has a policy for people like this? What a waste of time.

ok so what it didnt hapen but it is a real sitation that nurses dont pay atention to theyre stnas.

Oh good grief. And you're right, nurses don't pay attention to people like you, nor will they ever. They have a lot of other far important things to do.

It seems as though this thread has run it's useful course, or lack thereof.

OP, we're not laughing with you. That Billy Madison quote was spot on. I think nursing school will weed this one out.

OK am I on candid camera or something? The OP is asking "How did they pass theyre boards?" ....How did you pass anything if you ask me with such HORRIBLE spelling & grammatical errors! :uhoh3::uhoh3:

Even if the argument is absolutely ridiculous, I would still stay away from direct, personal attacks.

So, in addition to

1. Being a poor speller(who seems to refuse to spell check even though you admit you have a problem)

2. Refusing to even entertain the idea that good nurses and aides on this site are trying to CARE about your patients by giving appropriate advice.

3. You are now saying you are a liar!

None of these traits will serve you well in nursing school, admitting actions are wrong can be difficult, but it is how we grow and learn. I can't imagine if I had eight pages of people passionately telling me I was wrong, that I wouldn't even consider the possibility...

Enough already... This site is supposed to be to help people be supportive and learn, time to close it down!

Point taken, apologies to the board.

finally another cna lol! well he is really nervus all the time and he was already on oxygen and i turned it all th way up and he still couldnt breath. but 92 is not his normal so i was worried and the look on his face made me scared and i bet it woulda gona down if i hadnt done the breathing treatment.

i think what is happening is that you're not understanding the "why's" of it all. :idea:

i'm nursing student, stna, and teach bcls to medical staff at our hospital. in case you're curious...

okay, on our med surg floor 92% is considered normal. we don't blink an eye at 92%. when they are less we put them on o2 of 2 l (after we do the below) and find the rn to come see the patient.

first let's explain the "why's" of too much oxygen or unneeded treatment of nasal cannula as you decided to use (i'm going to really make this simple, your nursing school will go in-depth for this topic):

is there any problem if i use too much oxygen? yes, too much oxygen can damage the cells inside your lungs. also, if you have too much oxygen, your brain may not send out signals for you to breathe. or you can develop hyperoxia or oxygen toxicity.

for most people, when carbon dioxide starts to build up in your body, the brain signals to take a breath. the brain for a person with copd (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) gets used to a little extra carbon dioxide

because the lungs have a hard time getting rid of it. if a person uses too much oxygen, the carbon dioxide levels may not trigger the brain so the brain may not signal to breathe as often or as deeply as needed. taking

fewer or less deep breaths is called hypoventilation (hi-po-ven-ti-la-tion)."

:up: here's some things in your scope that you can do to help a 92% spo2 pt breathe better:

sometimes people can't breathe due to being "heavy" so you either have to raise the head of the bed, or pull the patient up in bed because their belly's are pushing on their lungs. or they are bent wrong in the bed, hence having a hard time breathing, so get them situated correctly in bed.

we also check to make sure their noses are not full, check their mouths so that it is clear. (once an elderly man had his dentures off but in his mouth thus could not breathe. another had so much dried mucus in it that it obstructed his breathings so i told the rn and we together cleared out his mouth so he could breathe.)

sometimes the pt's are bent too much between head of bed over 40˚ and legs. stretch them out a bit by laying the head back to 30˚ and putting the leg part of the bed down a bit.

sometimes the patient may not have been using their incentive spirometer, perhaps having them use that a few times aids in their breathing.

but as a last resort we go to nasal cannula. (first you go get the rn. they are licensed. we are not. therefore they have the case history of the patient, report from the previous rn's that we don't always have or cannot always access via pt records or have the time to read. and by all means the rn is the one who will be in trouble for whatever happens to the pt on their time.)

i know you mean well and have a passion for caring for the patient but so many things can go wrong if we don't consult the rn first. they have the knowledge that we don't have just yet...

if the rn won't do anything (it's happened to even me, but i go to the charge and from there i go to another rn or supervisor or nom.) go the route if you really have to.

but calling 911 in a hospital setting for a 92% spo2 will get both you and the rn into trouble. go the route...

take time to learn all the "why's". ask questions... then you can provide better patient care.

good luck! :yeah:
