What made you move from cardiac?

Thanks guys, however I followed my instinct and ended up calling a MET CALL and doctors got to work on the pt straight sway. Wasn't gonna sit there quietly and worry about being just a 'student' who knows 'limited knowledge'. yes might not know a lot at the moment however saftey of patient should always be number one, and doctors congratulated me in the end.

I go back in march (Australia) I wanna start reading thru things

Hey! Have you looked at any databases at your hospital? How you liking ED? I really would like to work there one day.

Hi guys! I'm a first year student and loving nursing. At the hospital I'm at, I just feel really intimidated to ever say anything as I'm viewed just as a "newbie". A pt today had an O2 sats of 85%. The nurse said "oh that's a little low' so I asked what we r gonna do and she said we might give some 02 once the visitor leaves. The nurse kind of forgot and I kept saying 'what about that patient??' About 30 minutes later we got the pt out of bed sitting and stats were now 93. The nurse was happy with that, but I wasn't because I know she's on endone too and I don't want the pt going down hill...what do I do in situations like that?? Tell the nurse in charge? They seem to look down at first years.. Thank you

Ah my educator has asked me to do the exact same with my pt's drug. Eeekkkkk
