    Regarding the pain medication, my instructor said he just didn't see the point and the nurse said and I quote "I'm not going to be the one to kill

    pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    CrazierThanYou replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not the expert, but we learned that you inject air to help equalize the pressure and ease withdrawal. When I worked a flu shot clinic and was drawing up the shots, I didn't inject air because I...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    I did have a hospice patient a couple of weeks ago because census was low and there weren't many patients on the floor that day. I was okay with it but I was afraid to touch her. The reason is that it...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    I'm not really saying there isn't anything to learn from hospice patients, its just that we aren't normally assigned to them and the nurses don't do much with them in general. The hospice nurse comes...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    What you describe is how my school's clinicals USED to be set up. But a couple of years ago, some nurses complained about some students who had bad attitudes. I guess they ruined it for all of us so...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    We are allowed to do pretty much anything, the problem is that there is no opportunity on the floor I am assigned to. We get a lot of hospice patients and the nurses don't really do anything with them...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just saying I've never seen it happen. When we go to our next clinical site, I expect I will see it happen then, because I've heard that hospital doesn't hire...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Teaching is the best way to learn. But I still don't like study groups. When does that happen? I have been a CNA since 1995 and never once have I had a nurse help me with a bed bath. Now, I am a...

    ever have an instructor just melt down in class?

    CrazierThanYou replied to classof2013's topic in General Students

    Every college I have attended and every college that I know anything about has these surveys. They're useless. I don't think they even get read. While I will agree that it is advisable to follow the...

    I also live in NC. The state's change in nursing curriculum facilitated the ending of the bridge programs. However, this year, my school has restarted

    CrazierThanYou replied to IvnurseAmanda's topic in General Students

    I also consider IV starts to be a basic nursing skill. I'm bumfuzzled that many of you aren't being taught that! It's not as if our instructors spent a lot of time on that skill or anything. We had a...

    CrazierThanYou replied to IvnurseAmanda's topic in General Students

    Wow, really? Every clinical site we've been to has expected us to do IV starts. Last week I was in endoscopy. As soon as I walked in and introduced myself, the nurse told me to grab a start kit and...
