1. afraid I hurt Pt w/injection

   chilloutrelax replied to chilloutrelax's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I made a big mistake. I didn't tell an instructor, because an instructor wasn't present. I was the only student at the health dept. I did not have a nurse w/me. It was busy, I had confidence I could do it alone. I'm still thinking, is it possible n...

2. Scared I hurt a pt

   chilloutrelax replied to chilloutrelax's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the advice. I have thought about it, and there was nothing I could do. I didn't tell an instructor, because an instructor wasn't present. I was in a clinic, by myself. However, I shouldn't have done it w/o the nurse. I have given so m...

   chilloutrelax replied to IvoryLena's topic in General Students

   What is she anxious from? Is the SOB causing her anxiety? Or is the SOB a result of the anxiety? Or is she anxious about breathing treatments?

   Hey, I just posted this on student forum. Thought I'd post here b/c you guys may be able to help me more. Hi, I am a nursing student. A few weeks ago, I gave Rho gam IM. I believe it came in a prefilled syringe, where you attach the dose into the s...

6. Scared I hurt a pt

   chilloutrelax posted a topic in General Students

   Hi, I am a nursing student. A few weeks ago, I gave Rho gam IM. I believe it came in a prefilled syringe, where you attach the dose into the syringe. Now, I inserted the needle, I aspirated...no blood. So, I injected it. As I was injecting the v...

7. Becoming a nursing assistant after one semester?

   chilloutrelax replied to armywife2005's topic in General Students

   Where the hospital everyone in my class mostly works as nursing assistants (or patient techs), we don't need to be certified. Completion (passing grade) of 1st semester of nursing school is sufficient.

8. Debriefing after a code?

   chilloutrelax replied to Gigglesforall's topic in General Students

   I was in the ER a few weeks ago, there was a code. I did CPR, because a wonderful nurse saw me in the corner, and asked me to take over. No debriefing. However, my instructor did speak with me about it, how how strange it is to look at their face....

9. impact of nursing studens on RNs.

   chilloutrelax replied to Alanna's topic in General Students

   I had a nurse tell me that they all really do appreciate the student nurses, even though they never say it. Yes, we may get in their way by asking a question. But we help out a lot more. Also, I think it's important not to be too sensitive to nurs...

    chilloutrelax replied to NewEnglandRN's topic in General Students

    Sounds wonderful:) L&D was wonderful for me too. I loved it! Nice to get a thankyou, I wish they knew how much we appreciate that.

11. Help- care plan for a code?

    chilloutrelax replied to chilloutrelax's topic in General Students

    Thanks, those look good. I went with altered cardiac output for the main one and just wrote in the interventions as what all I saw during the code. So, I think it'll be fine.

12. Statistics for nursing?

    chilloutrelax replied to ERtraumanurse's topic in General Students

    It's not bad if you really work at it. It was hard for me, but I passed. I didn't get a tutor, but this is one class (any math class IMO) is a good one to get a tutor. To some it will seem so simple and easy, but others have a hard time. Also, I...

    Yes barefootlady. Thanks a lot. I just couldn't think!

14. Help- care plan for a code?

    chilloutrelax replied to chilloutrelax's topic in General Students

    Well, the interventions would be the medications he was given and the compressions,etc... but what would the diagnosis be? I don't think she'd go for disturbed energy field:) He was worked on for an hour. He kept losing his pulse, but towards the...
