At the hospital that I work at and did my clinicals, nursing students don't have access to Pyxis, but they do have acess to charting. When administering meds students have to have a nurse co-sign for them. They can chart on everything else - assessment, baths, ambulations, etc. At the end of each shift co-assigned nurse needs to co-sign stating that he/she reviewed students charting. The other hospital in the area allowes student only access to CNA type of charting and no Pyxis access as well. Nurses who trusts students allow students to chart under/for them. I find it very helpful to have access to all charting.

I have Zcoils and they are great. They can custom fit them to your arch.
