  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...

  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...

  9. discovered and reported falsification of VS

    Covaryx replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

  10. ED tranfer.. No verbal report required

    Covaryx replied to HeartRN13's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    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...

  11. Night shift

    Covaryx replied to LCinTraining's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    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...

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

    Covaryx replied to Rebel83's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    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

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

    Covaryx replied to SavingGrace007's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    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

    Covaryx replied to ArrowRN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

  15. PCTs giving injections!

    Covaryx replied to Kdrenee's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    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...

    My school has been using ATI for yrs, and our last 2 graduating classes have has 100% NCLEX passing rates. I'm 1.25 yrs into the program, and it took me a solid yr to understand and know their...
