  1. Multiple IV's for one student, none for the rest... Is this usual during clinical?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Sherijo71's topic in General Students

    Wow, that is frustrating! I have experienced this in clinicals, but I don't think it's calculated. In my experience, the students who tend to get more IVs, Foleys, etc. are the ones who volunteer for...

  2. "I am a nurse!"

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I get asked for medical advice way too often... And, I'm a nursing

  3. Striking image of an 8 yo Hands

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to tining's topic in School

    Wouldn't some of that be "good bacteria"? As PPs mentioned, hands aren't (and shouldn't be) sterile. We need our microbiome to keep us healthy! Though, I do agree that it's a striking

  4. Chest tubes

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to sweetredRN's topic in General Nursing

    Fascinating. Thank

  5. Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    That makes sense. Most people are "ambiverts", which means they fall in the middle of the Intraversion/Extraversion

  6. Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I love the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)! It's a lot of fun to discuss... But it's about as useful as a horoscope! In case anyone is interested in "EBP", the MBTI isn't it Goodbye to MBTI, the...

  7. Robots perform surgery at some places these days.

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to YUKONrn's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question, but I don't think the article gives examples of "robot nurses". It discusses "nurse robots" that perform some nursing tasks and assist the nurse, but they do not replace a nurse....

  8. Is this folklore or an old wives tale?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to jodyangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Interesting question! I had a bariatric post-op patient in clinical, and they told me not to give him straws. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but it's nice to know why I was doing

  9. Nurse interview

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Maddiegirl3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for not letting your principles on this get in the way of "helping" her. Your answers cracked me up! I do wonder, though, if she is truly lazy or simply lost. She's not asking for something...

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Maddiegirl3's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    But, she still needs a

  11. Tips for isolation rooms?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Philly85's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As far as stethoscopes go, I've seen some nurses put a plastic glove over the diaphragm/bell of the stethoscope when examining a patient on contact precautions. But I don't know what the does to the...

  12. Triage?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to bunnylovinggrl's topic in General Nursing

    From an article by the American Academy of Family Physicians detailing what is within an MAs scope of practice: Seems to me the word "triage" is being used slightly differently here. Triage by an RN...

  13. Triage?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to bunnylovinggrl's topic in General Nursing

    I've also worked in a doctor's office before. And, the MAs called it "triaging" there as well. I got very confused the first few times I heard it because no one seemed to be in immediate distress at...

  14. Did you contract anything from a patient?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to RNrhythm's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you are a strep carrier, and therefor can't "contract" it again? I remember learning in micro that a large percentage of the population are carriers. ETA: I believe carriers are unlikely to...

  15. Care plan

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Amystud710's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Mind boggling! Insurance won't pay for Lovenox, but they'll pay for an extended hospital stay, so he can get his... Lovenox. It drives me crazy that insurance won't pay for what's best for the...

  16. NP or Physician for men?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to ImTheCuteBoyNursesLove's topic in Men in Nursing

    I believe that depends on specialty and

  17. NP or Physician for men?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to ImTheCuteBoyNursesLove's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not sure what you mean. If you really want the most patient contact, then become a CNA or PCT. If you want to know which type of provider would be more likely to be a PCP, that depends on the...

    Well Nurse, I don't know about "See Diff", but I sure "Smell

  20. What is Nux Vomica? State Board Questions From the Turn of the 20thCentury: An Era Gone By

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    What a fun read! Thank you. Please do share more. I wonder which "Nursing Interventions" we use in 2018 will get chuckles from nurses (and nursing students) in 101

  21. How do you eyeball respiratory rate effectively?

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Accordiantoyou's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I also had that problem! And, yeah, I did what all the PPs have suggested: put a hand on the patient's back or shoulders. Your instructor might not have "taught" you to do it that way, but that...

  22. Observant Jew Cannot Work Saturday Shifts

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    True. I agree that acute care might not be the best option for these folks. But, this is how I read your post: Sorry for misunderstanding you. Thanks for

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    How's that for a solution? Just kidding... But, only

  24. Observant Jew Cannot Work Saturday Shifts

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree that this nurse can't meet the unit's staffing needs and should move on, BUT I don't agree that said nurse should abandon nursing entirely just because s/he has some scheduling limitations. If...

    FSZ Student Nurse replied to jesusignazio's topic in General Nursing
