Amen to that! I once asked a PT to help me get a pt up that he had just finished with that had to go so urgently he kept saying he wasn't going to make it. The PT wouldn't help me at all! I didn't have time to get other help, and by the time I could help him stand up safely, he had lost bladder control. I was FURIOUS. I'm a nursing student though, so I really didn't have anyone to complain to except for my clinical instructor. The charge nurse didn't have much to say about it either.

I'm a 2nd year student who is freaking out about coming back after a looooooooooooooong summer. I really need to get more organized. I would like your input on how and when you do your charting.....also, what are the important things you like to chart about? This is on nurse's notes, not the assessment. Thanks soooooooooooooooooo much!

I actually fell and sprained my ankle badly on the shape ups. Toning shoes are unstable!
