I am trying it on myself, twice. No luck. At the dorsum of forearm. Did you try it? Which area do you suggest for the cannulation practice?

I am late to answer. I have read all replies. Thank you for all this kind advice. That night, I couldn't sleep; full of nightmares. The next day, in the morning, before the first lecture session. I told my instructor about what I did yesterday and I apologized directly. I also apologized to my classmen. Both my instructor and my classmen tried to deny it; "it wasn't because of you" kind, make me feel better. Man, I love them. As you pointed, I didn't mention the pill and I didn't give excuses. Cameron5575, I will heed your words.

Today, we had a lecture with a faculty instructor. I raised my voice in the online classroom; I spoke furiously and reactively to answer a question the instructor asked. 15 minutes passed and my teacher's voice started to tremble. She was crying and trying to hide it. At the online session, we can’t see her, but we can hear her voice. I am feeling very bad inside for four hours and I don't know what to do. Yes, I know, it was because of me, because no one talked after me. I am 35 years old. My classmen (70 students) are young, they are between 19-23 years old. Our instructor is 25-30 years old. Last weekend, I had to complete homework; one complex nursing care plan, and one Teaching in the Nursing project. Our professors said that half of our final grades gonna come from these assignments. I have been stressed. I am 27 hours sleepless now. And I took a pill, so I could stay awake. That’s why I am feeling very terrible today. How to make her happy, calm, cheerful? I was disrespectful to my classmates as well with that behavior. Will, they cast out me? I know only her e-mail address and I explained my situation and apologized to her by sending an e-mail. What should I do? I don’t want to make people sad.

Thanks for the answers. I am relieved. We will discuss this article in Epidemiology class to make a statistical analysis. The thing is our professors emphasize patient safety and caring errors, but these warnings are a constant stream for us; errors, patients, laws...as an example that they gave us this article to review. The paper has no citing on that passage, I checked again. It only gives four cited sources for its other context. I will find and read them soon. JBMMom, I have downloaded the papers, except ScienceDirect, and will read them. I want to know about this. It will help me.

Our professor gave an article (published in 2005) to read. We will discuss it tomorrow. It is about colleague violence in nursing. There is a passage in it: Theories abound Researchers have proposed several theories to explain horizontal violence. "Low self-esteem. Most nurses are women, and studies consistently show that women have lower self-esteem than men. In general, women undervalue their work and themselves. But people with low self-esteem become angry more easily, manage their anger poorly, and lash out at others." Which studies? I have searched on Google, Google scholar, yandex. There are a few scientific articles and they are old. There are news articles and they are old, for example, an article from 1987. Most of the articles that I found, are discussing low-esteem and women who are (insert any bad thing, such as abuse, violence, illness...) None of them are saying "low-esteem because they are women." I have found some news articles and all of them are from trash media like oprah, atlantic. They are manipulating by directly assuming it as scientific information. "Nurses show violence because they are women and women have low-esteem." I am disappointed at this stigmatizing.

You may want to visit a psychologist to know your weak and strong emotional sides, to know yourself better. Pinpoint the causes of meltdown, discouraging situations, and improve yourself at those points. Observe yourself at work; are workload and stress high? Do you have empty worries? Try other nursing setups, locations. Attend advanced level nursing courses to improve your career. Join online-offline patient communities to know them better. You cry because you are better.

I don't know how to cope with it. I am a nursing student. Make a 'my patients who are lost to death' chart, maybe on a pano, hanging on the wall while exiting your house to the occupation's daily occurrence. "Every physician has at least one lost patient in his/her career." A clinician professor said that to one of the medical student friends of mine. I hope we find good places to work. ?

Thanks, Wuzzie, I assume that how includes drug reference books, smartphone apps, online sources, other experienced nurses, and the patient.

Those drug guide books are claiming to have over 3000-4000 generic drug names. Are they for the PRN reference or we better begin to absorb them now, while in the school?

From all the posts here, one thing is concluded in my mind: any irresponsible complaint can derail your career. How fragile is Nursing becoming? Is there a rightful reverse complaint method to open a case against that primary carer daughter or the manager? They are simply attempting to harm you. What on-the-hand proof do they have to show? Where is the evidence? Just complaining stuff? I mean, if it is so easy, I want to complain, too. I will find some random nurse names, find out where they are working and then I will start to spam the complaints to managers, bons, whoever other vultures. Headlight style wearable headcams or camglasses should be mandatory, then. Give your care, send the record of your caring to the bon, managers, patients, and their families and pharmaceutical companies. They might like us.

Thanks, guys, I will inspect what information they added to the last editions and also check my classmates' books. At least I can take photos/notes from them if I miss something important.

2019-2020 editions are expensive. Such as Fundamentals, MedSurgical, A&P... If I buy cheap old books; will I miss so much important updated content of Nursing knowledge or is it just a little?

Why isn't the hospital accountable for the moron's action? Why doesn't the hospital give a rule/law paper to patients to read and to sign; "obey this or bye bye to ussr"? I mean, we have even option to choose or not to choose web page cookies. I am not from USA, but there are cameras in all patient rooms and they are being watched at nurse desk 7/24 in my city. At least they could put placebo cameras to the rooms for safety of health workers.
