C then D then if indicated from C&S results ask the physician for meds prescription. We rarely have multiple hope questions in Brit nursing school and if you can rationalise your actions, as long as they are not obvious stupidity, you get a mark.

Hugs to you Cyberkat, My brother was a nightmare for my parents and my Mum always said he would end up in prison or on the armed forces. Thankfully the Royal Air Force accepted him and then he got in trouble with the police (stealing cars). They put...

I've only seen one case where a doctor told a nurse to feed a patient against their wishes and the ward nurses refused so the doctor opted to feed her himself. After one attempt and a fair covering of mash potato he decided it was her right to deci...

You're all way ahead of me. I had my first nursing exam dream last night. All the questions were ones I hadn't revised for and I couldn't write more than one sentence. And now you're all telling me the dreams don't stop. When I was training for th...

Thanks Whisper LOL

Soooo jealous, still 2 years to go!!

I'm finding it really good working as an Agency Health Care Assistant while studying. I get to choose when I work and most times there is a shift available for me. What I appreciate most is that I'm seeing different areas and getting a feel for whe...

DOes anyone know if it's any good for us brits??

Keep that feeling Cheryl. Isn't it great. I've just done a profile for a Adult Learners Week pamphlet that says what you're feeleing. All the fun of being a student with enough experience of life not to be worrying about what everyone else thinks. ...

Well put Jaystrupp. It will be tough but keep rubbing his feet and get loads of hugs with your kids and try not to do the nurse thing of the worst case scenario. Enjoy every moment with them. Cry when you have to but leave time for laughter. It'...

Have you asked your mom and dad why they want the children to go?? We had a big family cremation to go to with children from 7 yrs to 4 mths so I offered to look after the youngest ones at the hotel where we were holding the wake. The oldest ones w...

Just go for it. I'm a first year nursing student in the UK having previously worked in ground handling at an airport. After 9-11 I knew it was time to find a different job and use my skills in somthing else. Didn't know what but knew I wanted a chal...

Thanks for this thread tony. I'm a student hoping to work in A&E or critical care. The agency won't place 1st year students in A&E because they don't feel it's right as we don't get any of the skills training till 2nd year. As agency staff y...

I HATE Nites. I'm a nursing student and havn't done any nites on the ward yet but used to do nites at Gatwick airport and hated it. Thank God for Pro-Plus!! I wouldn't make it through otherwise. Any tips for a sleepy head gratefully accepted.

LOL Thanks

ecco are my saviours where shoes are concerned. I have wide feet that will not be treated badly and although my calves ache after a long day my feet are good. I keep trying other shoes as they are expensive but I always end up back at that ecco s...

Just remember Keely they do want you to pass the skills. Talk to the mannequin as essarge says. We have to give our mannequin a name. Ours is called Madonna! You feel a fool to start with but if you use the name of a friend it really helps too as...

Love this thread- as a student I didn't know about pseudomonas- looked it up- now just wishing I didn't!! At least I am forewarned. I had a pt with a cyst on her back between her shoulderblades that the Dr. had decided to remove. I helped her have ...

Now I've had sleep I can write with less vent and reading this thread highlights the attitude I got from the RN. I only wanted a hand to roll a patient onto a clean sheet and just got the brush off. I've worked on other wards where the nursing sta...

I work agency shifts as a health care assistant and sometimes wonder what the trained staff are about. Some RN's think it beneath them to do a bed bath or empty a catheter no matter how manic the ward is. On an Orthopeadic ward the other week I had...

Most of my friends just laughed when I told them I got my place to study for my nursing diploma. I decided to go for it as a career move following being a massage therapist and wanting to take the care aspect forward. Now I've been on clinical plac...

I'm a student working as a health care assistant on agency to top up the bursary. I worked on the maternity unit last week which was a big change- no sick people!
