Wow you guys really jumped down my throat over that comment. Lots of you took that the wrong way. I respect nursing students and it is nice to give back. I guess what I am trying to say is sometimes their input/knowledge is very textbook and at times comes off as a "know it all" attitude. Sometimes it is a lot to take on a 2-3 student nurse and 7 patients and it is irritating.

How do you guys feel about working with student nurses? They are helpful but at times irritating to my day. I am always kind and polite to them because I remember how it was to be a nursing student. Sometimes I feel that they have a "know it all" attitude.

I am a new nurse, and during assessment my pt was unresponsive after many attempts to arouse her, for a split second I thought she was crashing. Fortunately she was okay. I was so nervous and scared, I am not sure if I will be able to handle a real code after seeing how nervous I was with that lady.

I'm sorry so many people were insensitive to you about this situation

Thank you and I will definitely archive this question.

I am a new nurse and am horrible with IVs and blood draws, I almost always miss and I see the vein. Every experienced nurse is telling me they were all like that and it just takes practice. Anyone willing to share some tips/tricks/advice on starting IVs? Thanks!!
