    OnTheRoad posted a topic in Home Health

    I got a job with a HH agency and have had exactly 1 patient whom I have been seeing for 8 wks. I was supposed to discharge the patient tomorrow because patient really isn't homebound ( functions quite...

  3. Tearing my hair out Postpartum Diagnosis

    OnTheRoad posted a topic in General Students

    Last semester in foundations I totally rocked at careplans. Even got the highest remarks available under documentation from my clinical instructor. Now I am losing my mind in OB. I have the most...

  4. Suicide

    OnTheRoad posted a topic in General Students

    I graduate in a few months and this week while in ICU I had a new admit that had overdosed on tylenol (like 50 ES tabs). I worked for hours with the nurse and doctor doing one on one care keeping the...

  5. 4 weeks 2 go

    OnTheRoad replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Pinning on Dec 18th here. Or at least I hope so. Over half our class failed our first med surg 2 exam, so every point is needed now. I am thinking positive though

  6. Frustrated with Clinicals Feel like Giving Up

    OnTheRoad replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    How many semesters in are you? Skills present themselves as they present themselves. Personally... I am almost done with my AS and still have not inserted a foley. It isn't that my instructors haven't...

  7. Suicide

    OnTheRoad replied to OnTheRoad's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much for your responses. It helps so much just to be able to share and to realize I am not alone. I know I will see many horrible things in my career and there will be I am sure many...

  8. Points Away From Failing Out

    OnTheRoad replied to SamanthaSN's topic in General Students

    I am in your shoes. I have always done well on tests, but my exam today means I basically have to be perfect the rest of this semester and I don't know what happened! I emailed my instructor to ask...

  9. How to not look so nervous at clinical

    OnTheRoad replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    I graduate in December and I remember like yesterday how nervous I was my first clinical ( can we say ready to pass out?). I am still nervous with each new challenge or situation that comes my way....

  10. Why so many fail out of our program?

    OnTheRoad replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't think there is a better way. Depending upon how you are being taught or required to do them or how long you have been doing them will affect how much you learn from them though. When...

  11. Nursing Dx for DKA patient

    OnTheRoad replied to MB37's topic in General Students

    I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but in my program we have to go the night before clinicals and gather information about labs and diagnosis (medical) etc. We are not allowed to go near the...

  12. Help With Physiological and Psychosocial Nursing Diagnosis

    OnTheRoad replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think for most of us, when we first start writing care plans there seems to be so much emphasis on the diagnosis part of things that many of us fail to simply start basic and look at what is going...

  13. Why so many fail out of our program?

    OnTheRoad replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    The thing about care plans (which I used to hate btw) is that they really do teach you to think critically and to know what to do for your patient and why. You can train just about anyone to do...

  14. Terrified for clinicals because...

    OnTheRoad replied to MN_NursingStudent's topic in General Students

    We have to look all that up and do all the work, but we are not required to be able to recite things verbatim from memory. We will be required to be able to tell her what is going on with our patient...

  15. Getting Organized!!

    OnTheRoad replied to shannonFNP's topic in General Students

    I personally like being able to refer back to previous lectures whenever I want to, and get right to them without alot of searching through my binder. I bought write on tabs and label them with each...

  16. Tearing my hair out Postpartum Diagnosis

    OnTheRoad replied to OnTheRoad's topic in General Students

    I asked my instructor the last day of clinical about the care plans. It seems to me that she really doesn't like care plans in general. She really wants our OB clinical section to switch to clinical...

  17. Stage fright Question for Nurses

    OnTheRoad replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    I think calla is right on. I am a student and was afraid because I am expected to teach my patient something in each clinical. My last clinical it didn't enter my mind because I was so busy and at the...

  18. Student looking busy

    OnTheRoad posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    OnTheRoad replied to OnTheRoad's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OnTheRoad replied to OnTheRoad's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ann.... I get to do 2 clinicals nursery and 2 clinicals postpartum and will be able to be very hands on in both of those settings. I think paperwork will be a big part of what I do in L&D (and I...

    OnTheRoad replied to mammaoftwo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. School uniforms.. ugh..

    OnTheRoad replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    We have to wear all white scrubs, but as long as it is white we can get what we want (technically we are supposed to wear cherokees, but so long as it is white they don't care). I wasn't happy...

  24. healthcare administration

    OnTheRoad replied to ladymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would contact a local college that has a nursing program. Maybe you can take prerequistites for the nursing program slowly over the next 2 yrs if you need to continue working. Then when you are...

  25. What was your first clinical experience like? Any suggestions on how to handle it?

    OnTheRoad replied to LuvaBSNRN's topic in General Students

    My first clinical experience was in a nursing home. That is where they start us at my school, and I had no prior healthcare experience. I was scared and nervous. The first day was orientation and we...
