Will find out our hospital policy with regards to that.I'm just trying to be able to cover myself since on this floor doctors orders mysteriously disappear when something goes wrong.Or they cross the order off and write a new one and then it looks as...

I really love my job but things like this make me want to quit nursing.I have been barely on this unit for 2 months after rotating from a surgical floor which i absolutely loved.We had each other's backs but staff on this unit are always ready to thr...

Another thing is why am I and the charge sister who wasnt even there at the time the only ones being asked to write a report.What about the emergency nurses whos job it is to secure all patients personal belongings and have declaration form signed?

Wife was not present and the nurse that came with him did not hand over that he was confused or anything. Didnt even give full diagnosis.Got diagnosis from his notes like we usually do.Like i said i had no idea that hearing Aids were to be removed be...

thanks for the replies keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi all our instructor gave us some invasive and non-invasive measures for respiratory care pts.She told us to go home and find out all we can about when they are used.She said use any methods necessary be it books internet or ask a nurse so i have co...

this is interesting.i'm a nursing student and was wondering how to fit my khimar for clinical next week.well this has sure helped some

There is a similar thread "strange things you've seen in /on a pt.Search the site and you should find it.

There are lots of threads about nursing school orientation.Just try browsing through them but remember everyone's experience will be different.

congrats!

my class started with 39 now were down to 34 with some not returning for next semester due to bad grades but we have 4 guys.

OMG like you were reading my mind.Although i still have a while still in nursing school i feel the exact way.Really looking forward to what the others have to say.They seem to be so knowlegable.Wonder if i'll ever be that good.

Hi all just curious about something.It has always been my goal to specialise in L&D.My plan was after i finish my RN course to go straight back to college and do my diploma in midwifery.Yesterday i was talking to one of my tutors over the phone a...

I understand the whole rationale behind it and never said it was a problem just wanted to know if other schools function that way or if its just mine and thanks for taking the time to read my post and replying.

Yes i think they should.Now i have to find a plan B.

Don't think you should spend money on the optional books.Think the required books and the tutor will pretty much cover what you need to know.My first semester I bought every book on the list most of which have never been touched and never really used...

I personally think it's great that your mom wants to go with you and i say take her.Would have loved to have my mom at my orientation but she had to work.She has supported me tremendously in everything i have done and i'm blessed and so are you.Oh an...

I think the conduction system is important too.

the most i ever cared for alone was 18 and they were long term care patients.The nurse i was working with called in sick.Hope i never have to do that again.

Hi i'm muslim and we have dicussions about religion in almost all our classes.When anyone ask me about my religion i tell them.If they make false assumptions i correct them but we do it in a professional way.I respect their beliefs and opinions and t...
