Great Job. But it just like with any new urgent situation that involves adults in multiple disciplines and multiple children, Chaos Is highly possible. I'm an RN and a police officer who has worked as an SRO for years so I see your senecio from a unique position . First establishing your role as the "primary " in this and similar medical emergencies is vital. "Even if feeling get touched". Patient comes first. Now trust me my police side does tend to take led but medical emergencies need health care first . Second, all of these other disciplines should instinctively go to their training. (I.E.; teachers and assistants should be assisting in removing children to area away from scene to avoid the panic they experience with fear. Security should be preparing to receive EMS. Admin should be on phone with EMS. Coordinating their arrival and relaying the nurses assessment to medic dispatch in order to insure the proper unit is dispatched. Social workers and counselor need to be with remaining removed students providing care and also with the coordination with admin. , calling parents of the patient child (don't want everyone providing parents with different versions or update intel.) Third, radio transmissions need to be limited to Nurse - Admin. Tell everyone to "shut up" . In a nicer but firm way. You can apologize later. Patient comes first. Radio clearance is so vital in an emergency Even police habitually talk over one another and need leadership to advise them to "clear the air unless you have an emergency ' yes put together a plan but this needs regular drills like a fire drill. Great job with deciding to create a action plan for this and similar situations. You are a credit to the profession. let me know if you need further assistance, if this response helps!

I am not usually the one who submits articles, rather I choose to be a message reader. But like many, i vowed to give back to the source that motivated me when I needed it the most. Yes, I passed, after 7 years having graduated from nursing school, and 2 unsuccessful attempts. I've seen many articles about this program or that program, but I can attest to only two: LEARNINGEXT.COM AND KAPTEST.COM. Learning ext provided me with core context that I personally desperately needed and Kaptest gave me NCLEX test taking skills, that I obviously lacked before. Lets start from the beginning. The first two failed attempts I was WAY too cocky and over confident in my abilities. 'DIDNT WORK OUT WELL". Once I humbled myself, I dedicated the better part of a month and a half to down right commitment. questions everyday, constantly looking up what I did not know (EVEN ON TESTING DAY I DIDNT KNOW IT ALL, AND NEITHER WILL YOU) But what I did know is how to take the test. Daily questions had me to the point where answers jumped off the page at me. Which quite frankly frightened me, because I just couldn't believe I knew the answers so well. Know your lab values, electrolytes, BP up or down, RR up or down, hypo volume/hypervolume, the major most common disorders (ASTHMA, MI, INCREASED ICP, ETC.) The reality of it is that knowing the SE of cystic fibrosis medication is awesome, but "in my humble opinion, not worthy of beating yourself up if you don't remember. There is so much more that I can share, and if you read and have further questions, ask and I will answer. Just know that : I've been out of nursing school for quite some time and I passed. With only 130 questions. Also, before I forget, PLEASE PLEASE look at the CAT format that NCLEX uses. It was so important for me to understand that I didn't have to get the majority of the questions right, I just needed to stay above the pass level at application level. good luck to you all and first and foremost, KEEP GOD FIRST! Without him, KAPTEST nor LEARNINGEXT would have been useful.
