Are you joking? If not, that is oddly weird and makes me cringe.

I have a weekly 10 hour clinical on a medsurge/cardiac unit this summer. I'm not very happy about it, but I know that there's nothing I can do but try to do my best and get through it. I never had this long of a clinical before, so does anyone have a...

I had a 84-year-old male vistor in the hospital for his sick nephew. The senile gentleman kept in his wheelchair on the wall and claimed that he was a wall hugger. He also said that he once was admitted to this same hospital a couple times, but he on...

My weekly schedule for 2nd semester of nursing school: Monday: Clinical 6am-12pm (then re-read study material for either OB or Pharm if I had an up coming exam) Tuesday: OB from 8am-10am / Pharm from 12pm to 4 pm Wednesday: Alternative clinical weeks...

Im a student nurse, but if I had an option to choose a dream career it would be helping both animals and destitute children from all over the world. Plus, I also would love to be a full-time writer.

The nursing process and nursing diagnosing í ½í¹„

Definitely take micro in the summer

I've been to two higher acutity clinical sites so far on a med-surge/oncology floor and a cardiac observation unit (step-down CCU), and some of the nurses seem to not do their three medication administration checks. I didn't give it much thought unti...

I hate my maternity rotation. However, I think my teacher is amazing (even though I'm currently failing the class) because she teachers so well and challenge us students to learn the material well. Though it's her test that are killer.

Im usually very understanding to other student nurses, but you seriously need to do your own homework.

Does anybody know anything that may help with sleep insomnia? I want to try as many things as possible to get through this very stressful week. I haven't slept in 2 days because i havent been able to physically fall asleep, even though I'm really tir...

I understand, this was a huge learning experience for me. And I do now see where Sour Lemon was coming from.

Okay, thank you. I'm obviously still learning and I did not know this would be considered 3 checks. And you're right, I did think that she had to read the labels at the pyxis. Also, this is why I like asking certain questions on Allnurses rather than...

Thank you for clearing that up for me! I thought I was crazy from what I saw.

I did not know about the insulin needle thing. My classmates acted as if I was stupid to give heparin in a insulin needle. Also the charge nurse did scan the patients bracelet and the label on the package before she administered it at least.Plus, whe...

I dont think that is the case, she was able to see the meds and she knew exactly which pocket in the drawer to grab from. But honestly, it happened so fast that I was kind of blindsided myself and that's when I asked why she didn't read the labels. A...

I understand. But I didn't point it out to anyone on the floor or my clinical instructor... Plus, I did not know that this can be common practice.

I was not teaching anything to the charge nurse as I was just shadowing her. Plus, I did all what she wanted me to do. And you are very rude. I guess the saying is true that nurses do eat their young...

Yeah, I thought it was completely bizzare too, especially being just a student. I kid you not, she just started grabing meds out the pyxis drawer very quick and then put them on the counter to put them in the cup or draw them up. Not once did she loo...

That is not true at all. I think it's normal to struggle in your hard sciences because they are usually the weed out classes and are never meant to be easy. Although, it is good that you made a B or an A in these courses and that shows that you actua...

What lessons?

I became a CNA after completeing my 1st semester of nursing school. All I did was take the exam. See if that could be an option for you within your state.

I know there is no such ratio but considering dimensional analysis it works. It stills give the answer of 12.5 gtts/min.
