    daisyfleur70 replied to AuS10's topic in General Students

  10. HEALTH ASSESSMENTS

    daisyfleur70 replied to _meow's topic in General Students

  12. 1st day clinical. I know nothing? is this normal?

    daisyfleur70 replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    @jngo91 No... I wouldn't think so none of those mistakes were the kind that would put a patient in jeopardy. Those are all legit rookie mistakes. If it makes you feel better, last night I had taken...

    daisyfleur70 replied to Courtcatt's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last semester of nursing school, doing my preceptorship and I have been feeling this way too. We learn about nursing in pieces, it seems like, and each clinical experience is different,...

    It depends on the floor really. As above posters have mentioned, there's an isolation cart outside the room with all the goodies you need on it. As to equipment, there is always dedicated stethoscope...

  22. Did you learn IV in NS?!

    daisyfleur70 replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in General Students

    Our program doesn't teach it except as an "optional" lab practicum in Fundamentals 2. We are told pretty much the same thing, that IV teams do IV starts, although none of my clinical sites had IV...
