    GypsyNinja posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi everyone. , I'm a 31 year old pre nursing student and this is my first post. I felt like sharing my good news here since I figured this would be the best place to do so. I was overjoyed when I got...

  2. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm really not understanding the recommendation part of SBAR. I understand what it is that I'm supposed to do (tell the attending provider what my recommendations are), but I have no idea how to go...

  3. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I see what you're saying. Definitely more efficient to use SBAR in that scenario. Was SBAR hard for you to grasp when you first learned about it as a student? You all seem so CLEAR and CONCISE with...

  4. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, so knowing things like lab values (hematocrit, hemoglobin, CBC, etc.) would be the Clinical Knowledge, and the Critical Thinking would be something like.....my pt has coffee grounds in her emesis....

  5. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    "Personally, I'm used to doing SBAR in a slightly different order: RASB. That way is essentially what I want, why I want it, and the evidence/info that led me there." AkulahawkRN, as a nurse who has...

  6. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    "Simply put, if you've got a patient that's vomiting a lot, what does your patient need? 1) to stop vomiting. How? Antiemetic. Ask for it. 2) Fluid replacement. PO isn't going to do it until the...

  7. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Do you want to be an RN who can collaborate with the provider, or who is blindly dependent on others to tell her what to do? Here. I. Stand. Thank you for your input and for giving me some...

  8. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sorry to break it to you......but expressing opposition to something, albeit temporarily, because I'm frustrated, and can't wrap my head around it, does not make me an oppressor of the whole nursing...

  10. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hear ya :) It definitely is easier to focus on the SBA for now, in order to get more comfortable with the R,

  11. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What attitude? The sarcasm part? If that were true, god help the nursing profession because nursing students will get frustrated and feel lost. If you're referring to something else that I said, maybe...

  12. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks guys and

  13. The "R" in SBAR......nope

    GypsyNinja replied to GypsyNinja's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I understand that the R is what I want but I have no idea how I'm supposed to know what I want. I'm a first year nursing student, if the pt is hypotensive, I don't think I can automatically know that...

  20. Nurses' perceptions of patients with borderline personality disorder - lit review

    GypsyNinja replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Psychiatric

    100% agree w/this comment! I can not even count how many times I've read posts on here and thought to myself " this does NOT sound like BPD. But rather,

  21. Former foster kids who are becoming nurses...

    GypsyNinja replied to Fawnz's topic in United Kingdom

    I didn't see where the OP was making excuses. It looked like she was asking for some advice from people who have or are in the same sort of situation. I think what the OP was responding to was the...

    GypsyNinja replied to Fawnz's topic in United Kingdom

    It actually does make the hardships worse. I am a foster kid and can tell you this from experience. Living out of state does not automatically mean that you have no family support. Support is not just...

    GypsyNinja replied to Fawnz's topic in United Kingdom

    I'm surprised by many of the comments here. I believe you do have to be a foster kid or crown ward to understand where the OP is coming from. No, you do not have to be the OP to understand the...
