1. Grade Anxiety

   Covaryx replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

   That is completely true! Like I mentioned above, I reacted to the emails in an "omgomgomg need to study now!" Way. After a yr or so of our Directors crap, we've started ignoring her emails wording and now study at our own pacing, and who is left is...

2. Grade Anxiety

   Covaryx replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

   I feel I know where you're coming from. I work as a Tech and during work and Clinicals I LOVE it. I never feel stressed, I feel rightfully challenged. And challenge accepted. But lecture gives me and my peers anxiety attacks as well. It's not helpful...

8. Nursing students on medication

   Who knows. They never responded to THAT part of the questions.

9. discovered and reported falsification of VS

   Covaryx replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Safety

   It's disgusting that anyone could "take her side". If one of my nursing school friends who I also hang out with socially did this then it would be friendship OVER. Not for a petty reason either, I cannot associate with someone who would knowingly end...

10. ED tranfer.. No verbal report required

    Covaryx replied to HeartRN13's topic in Safety

    Our facility used to require verbal report. Now they get no report. I was outraged the first night I heard of that policy change. Then I read the email and confirmed that sometimes Higher Ups truly are moronic.

11. Night shift

    Covaryx replied to LCinTraining's topic in Technicians

    You poor thing. 1st of all, get a new PCP ASAP. What a horrible thing to say. After some odd yrs....I'll share what I've got. But I'm still struggling too. Do not exercise before sleep. Try melatonin. (It worked well for me for at least a yr, but...

12. New PCT for a month and first night in ER

    Covaryx replied to Rebel83's topic in Technicians

    I'm a Float Pool tech. My first night was exactly like that. But do not feel bad, you were given no training or orientation for that. The 2nd time will be easier. And you'll be a pro the 3rd time.

13. Three sets of vitals in a 12-hour shift?

    Covaryx replied to SavingGrace007's topic in Technicians

    Suck it up. Q4hr VS are normal, and during a 12hr shift that means you do it 3 times. I do it, and our pt load is 16-22 per tech, when they hit 23 then they are required to have a 2nd tech.

14. What is an "overflow" Patient care tech

    Covaryx replied to ArrowRN's topic in Technicians

    Probably flex. Ask in the interview

15. PCTs giving injections!

    Covaryx replied to Kdrenee's topic in Technicians

    I am a PCT. We is everything with Foleys, work with IVs, Blood draws, EKGs, and specialized floors techs are able to use Art Lines. PCTs never give injections, they cannot give meds. Even if they are med trained, it will be for pills and not injectio...
