Thank you. I am tired of feeling anxious. I just want to live my life.

Yes I am on beta blockers. I think I may need a higher dose. This shaking is just really scary.

Every day I think that there is something wrong with my heart. I do have high blood pressure and I am being treated. I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. My heart always feels like it is really strong so much that my body shakes slightly. I am exercising to help myself but I don't see it working too well. I am most worried about my strong pulse. Please tell me there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone else feel like this, like they are always dying?

Myself and other students in my program are having a problem with time managment in our clinicals. We get 1 patient each and five hours take care of them. First we assess and talk with the patients and parents (in peds), we then do AM care and give meds if needed. After that there is usually nothing else to do unless the patient has a lot of care needed (and usually that isn't the case). Usually the nurses on the floor get annoyed if they see that students are in the hallways, but usually it is to find the professor and ask a question and the professor is usually scrambling around helping give meds. Nurses also complain that we don't spend enough time with the patients but I feel like I would be bothering the patient if I came in too much or spent more than the time needed in the room. What can I do to satisfy the nurses and the patients without being bothersome?

does anyone work at Hackensack Medical?

In a hospital what is considered "part time evenings" is that all night or just from like 5 to 10?

Anyone on here who is currently a nursing student at seton hall? And what classes/teachers do you have?

3.67 I thought that was alright then I saw other people who had like a 1.5 and I didn't feel bad hahaha:yeah:

I recently had surgery and when I came out of it they told me there was a possibility that I may be put on the pediatric floor. I thought this was interesting because I am 19 and I am 6'1'. They ended up putting me on telemetry because of my heart rate and I barely fit in the adult size bed. I understand that they can put you in pediatrics until 21. My question is, is there a bed that is larger then the adult size one?

Screw that guy I want to be a nurse and when I make it higher up than him he is going to see me. It doesn't matter anyway, I want to be an NP so it's kind of different. Thanks for the comments by the way. I was on pain killers and I was very emotional, I hope that's normal lol. He thought I was a drama queen cause I was in extreme amounts of pain when they ripped the stent out of me also, which is why it is so disturbing to me.

I know exactly why you should get out of bed after surgery. If you don't a clot can form in your leg and yeah not good lol. I knew that coming in to surgery and I also knew that getting up helps heal faster. What gets me is that I was walking, I walked with the PT and I was pacing back and forth in my room cleaning my area up trying to make it nice for when my family came and he did not believe me at all, while the guy next to me lied to all of his nurses and did not get up at all but told them he did, and they believed him. I told my family 'I am stuck here and I want to get out asap, don't you think I would want to be the first one to get out of here, you can go home after this but I stay here for the night.' The other thing is, is that you are NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL THE PATIENT HOW THEY SHOULD FEEL. I actually had a good nurse that very night. I was up until 11 and she said "I see you are still up" and I told her that I was annoyed at the nurse and my family, and then I apologized for telling her my problems and she said "it is what I am here for." I swear it was a hallmark moment lol.

No not the nursing students I am with now it is the biology students who are questioning me.

Do patients talk to you like this also? Like instead of looking at your name tag they call you "doctor" automatically because you are a guy?

I stil want to be a nurse but man that guy was a jackass. I want to be a nicer nurse then he was. It just angers me that he took advantage of me in a way. Every time he did something, nobody was there to witness it. It is not like I was in good condition to speak up. I was not feeling good and felt vulnerable, which is obviously normal for a patient. I think if he pulled this stunt around my parents he would have gotten a mouth full. Maybe I do need to grow up but it is so hard to even want to do anything when you are exhausted after 4 hours of surgery.
