I am in almost the same boat! Except the nursing home is not that bad but I want hospital experience! I feel like hospital experience as a CNA looks better when you apply for RN jobs AND if they like you you'll have a job as an RN ASAP :) PLUS hospitals will often pay for your higher education --> BSN, NP! Also since I would be working evenings (3-11:30) I will be driving there a few hours early to avoid traffic and get my study time in its just something to think about to avoid traffic I say it's worth it if you really want to work in a hospital :)

Hi, I was just wondering....who else feels lost in clinical? I feel like I'm semi confident but EVERYTHING disrupts my schedule! I want to go in do it my way and I walk in all organized and confident with a schedule and I'm gunna get my head to toe done asap and be on the ball!, meds set, i got everything i need and im ready....then life happens! we have 30-40 min to get report and do a head to toe/vitals...but my pt was the last report, we get vitals go to meeting come back, shes requesting pain meds we go on a pain med hunt the RN wants us to watch her do some cool stuff and asses....which left us with no time to get ready for our med pass.....throws us off even more it went from 9am meds to 9and10am meds! Now im just tring to figure out how we were went from 3 meds to 5 while being ordered to take bp and pulse again (turns out we needed special med cups to crush and what we thought was a med cutter wasn't!), got AM care and 2 set of q15 vitals done them 11am ivpb .....but wait main RN discovers 2 out of 3 picc ports are clogged all meds are put on hold.....get it going but it continuously occludes we figure it out......in the last few clinicals I've gotten to do some cool stuff (remove NG tubes, see a blood transdusio, dressing changes, observe 3 IV insertions! and more I love it! but i just feel like my professor always sees the worst moments (shes nice though!) and lack of organization........but idk does everyone feel they are constantly disrupted? start the day organized and it all goes south?
