I feel ya! I put myself in so much financial debt it's not even funny.

Hello, I would really appreciate if some of you nurses/students could provide me with some scenerios and how you chart it. For example, a patient came in with burns and had surgery etc. How do you chart the IV site, like the whole head to toe thing. I really need help with documentation...I'm really considering a class designed specifically for charting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would say B, to esablish a trusting relationship FIRST and THEN D. *shrugs

Thank you pagandeva, I'm currently lookinf for employment as a CNA, I think it will be somewhat helpful. See you around!:wave:

Yes, I can return in the fall to complete 205 which is only 5 weeks. I have a thread started (if you look in my profile) of the story...the title is "I made it to the last minute then"..... For some reason, when I get to this point I get so nervous and I freeze. I'm going to the doc to address this anxiety issue, hopefully with just cognitive therapy and no meds...like coping mechanisms etc. So yeah, I have to wait till November, I was supposed to graduate Dec of 06.

My instructor even was worried about me not being ready, so I withdrew.

Hello, I decided to withdrawal from my last part of my last semester due to feeling like I need more improvement with patient care before graduating. I tried to get into a summer internship but they are all filled in my area so I'm going to apply for a job as a nurse's aid. My question is, to those of you in nursing school, how much has working as a CNA helped you in your clinicals? And why? Do they allow you to observe, perhaps participate? Do you learn from observing, hearing? Thank you.

You ROCK Daytonite!!!:wink2:

Yes it did, thank you SO much. There are so many lines and tubing in the room I'm so confused, is there any websites where I can visualize this? I hope i'm not being too pesky? Anyone?

No sleep!

Well, I have to perform in front of her on Saturday...I'm about to graduate so...she wants me to do what I can, I already asked her this. She wants me to give report, pass meds, suction...I do'nt have to take FULL care of the patient. Any tips or hints are really appreciated!

Like chest tubes, ventilators, trach care, etc? Thank you:)

Hi, I'm doing an externship and for a few days, I'll be on the ICU. I wil be there for 2 days and my instructor is expecting me to be proficient in taking and giving report, and knowing the basics of ICU care. My question is, could you give me an idea of what your day is like? I know you have a diverse set of patients and your daily routine isn't always consistent, but just in general? You suction, take blood from AV lines..etc Could anyone help me, I'm really nervious.

Thank you very much, you helped me out alot!:)

Thank you Daytonite!:) Do you have any links that could direct me to evaluate the pros and cons of switching from fixed shifts to rotating shifts? And some good sites for solutions to this problem? I'm having a tough time finding good sites...not much of a computer person:idea: , thanks!:)
