Yes I do thank you. It is a small hospital in a tiny town so I'm not sure about research drugs. Thank you for an idea of what it's about.

Yes. So far from my understanding it's where picc and caths are done, also chemo and outpatient antibiotics.

Hey everyone, so I am a senior in my nursing program this semester we get to precept for clinical. I was chosen to precept on the IV therapy floor I have to do 180 hours. Well in wondering what exactly a student nurse will get to do. I'm also a little worried because I wanted to be able to practice my skills and now that I'm not on a med surg floor I'm very worried I will have a hard time finding a job after with only experience on IV therapy. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

an update, i spoke to my instructor and all is well. i started telling her where i went wrong and what i could change and she said that was fine and do it next time. The real issue she wanted to talk about was why the tech said things about me and if we had a disagreement or something of the sort, because the tech went to the family saying i had falsified documentation on the patient and some other comments about me in general. My instructor soon came to the conclusion of what was going on and asked the family who then said that the tech did say this and that about me. My adivice from her was to keep my head down and if i see the tech to just turn around and that she did inform the floor manager of what the tech was trying to do. which in turn did make my clinical day a lot harder when no one wanted to answer my questions, but i got through it and only one more day and were off to a new place. so thank you for the advice and ways i can improve in, which i think my instructor was very pleased when i admitted what i could have done better. I guess it just came down to the tech not being happy with me and she went the wrong way about things and my instructor wanted me to be informed.

Thank you for your advice I know I need to improve on my time management but I did get all the vital signs and chem sticks and everything else done on all my patients. This tech just started to yell at me when I told her what was going on. I know I could have brought in clean linens and all the materials which I should have done. The other patients I had that day were more priority then he was. I was almost learning new procedures the entire morning. I know this tech jumped down my throat for other reasons. When the I excuses my self from the room was bc there were 3 nurses and 4 visitors and me and the tech so I thought it was necessary to get out of The way since they are very small rooms. Thank you for responding I plan on telling my instructor that I am sorry for any communication errors that happened between me and tech and I have never had this happen before. I also will tell her where I can improve. I just dont appreciate the tech who yelled at me Infront of everyone and when I tried to talk to her in a calm manner continued to be nasty. I have no problem do anything my patient needs and checking on them but. But at the same time I'm there to learn and if we get busy with learning something on our other patients it would be nice for the tech to realize this as well.

Hello everyone i would really like some advice. I am currently in a situation i have never in, a little about me i am in an asn program and i am currently in my third semester taking med sur 2 and ob/peds. A little about the instructor she is very smart but sometimes all the lights are not on upstairs. she is fantastic at explainning topics discussed in class. well she is also my clinical instructor, when were in clinical she is complete disorganized and has no clue what is going on. we do total care and well all she cares that we do is bathe the patient and take vital signs she could care less about any actual nursing experiences. My whole group is feeling really unprepared for our last semester because she will not let us do anything. well this brings us to the situation on hand. i met with my patient, his wife told me in the morning that she would give him the bath went along with vital signs and moved onto the next patient. well before this the tech that took me forever to find told me she dosent do double work and wanted to know what rooms we had as im telling her she walks away. well then i go on my way find the other tech and she was amazing! well about noon im going to get my patients chem sticks and vital signs and here comes the mean tech and she jumps me in the hall way yelling at me after it told her what was going on she just kept yelling well i go down to my patients room and as i start to talk to him again he has a seziure i get the nurse and heres this tech with a random nurse well after all this she comes in with the vital machine and bumps in the my should. i excused my self from the room to let them do there thing. well my instructor asked me what happened i explained to her how the tech was acting then she goes in there and calls me in to do the chem stick. well after this we go to lunch and come and she tells me to find this tech about the bath situation and to talk to my patient. well i go to see if my patients wife was still going to bath him and i knock open the door and there is 4 guest in there so i said oh excuse me and closed the door. went to search for the tech to talk to her about the situation and she is no where to be found. well during my search i am told we are leaving. so we leave, well now i have an email from my teacher who says we need to discuss this situation because she followed up with the tech and the family and then she saw the tech go in the room with linnens and a basin and that the tech complained about me. so now i have to meet with her and i have no idea what she will do. in the past she has clinically failed people for this. i mean i have worked very hard to be in the program and stay in it i have never had any bad marks from my instructors they all enjoy me. this tech was no where to be found the whole day i had to have the other tech help me with other things with my patient. some of the tech on the floor think we are there to do there job only. we are there to help lighten there load and learn something from nurses. i just would like some adivice on what i should say to my instructor. thank you and have a great evening.
