I'm a nursing student currently working in LTC as a CNA this summer. The policy is that we should not carry or use or cellphones at work. I personnally feel uncomfortable if I don't have those 3 things on me while I am not at home: my keys, my walle...

Hello everyone, I was in clinicals this week and had an elderly patient with BPOC who came back from a hip surgery. The thing is that the patient came back from his surgery terribly dysphagic. The evening I was there, his family gave him some yogour...

I did not mention it but of course I mentioned it to my clinical instructor and the charge nurse (I considered it obvious) I was just wondering as a student, were my interventions appropriate, but thank you all for your answers!

Yeah, a consult was already asked for this patient because his dysphagia was really serious. And the possibility of an aspiration pneumonia was brought up by the day shift. He was on antibiotics at the time of the events. BPOC is actually how we ca...

Hello everyone, I decided to post here to get a little bit more answers since I am freaking out. I was hired by a hospital in May to work in LTC and I loved it! Got nothing but good comments, and I really really loved my job. I was in my 90 days pro...

Actually the meeting was just a mistake, the lady thought I was somebody else 200kg of bricks just fell off my shoulders!

Actually It helps to see that people think I am overreacting, but this doubt I am going to get fired constantly haunts me and it probably Will until I have my next appointement with her

Well I sincerely hope it is just a signature And I immediately thought negative because I was fired at the end of my probationary period from one of my previous non-nursing jobs and I don't think I completly recovered from that..

It's probably because I am too dependant of my phone! As soon as I will have my locker l 'll it in it to prevent another event like that from happening:up:

Hey everyone! Recently I made a vent post about my clinicals mentioning that I was very good at theory and clumsy when it was time to perform skills. I had 90% on the last exam when the average was 67 and I didn't find the exam that hard, but I need ...

*this is a vent post* Today was the 6th clinical day of my med-surg II rotation (2nd year of a 3rd year program) and I'm starting to think that maybe i'm not good enough to be a nurse?? I really love learning about pathophysiology and I'm really good...

Wow! I didn't expect to get so many responses! Reading those really nice comments and good advices made me feel a lot better, so thank you all! I think I am blessed to have this particular clinical instructor because she's giving patients that gives...

Thanks for the kinds words it's really encouraging :) Today was a little better : I made some more little stupid mistakes concerning things I know, but I made a right call and it made me feel a bit less incompetent!

I don't think I become anxious when my instructor watches me something i'm supposed to master, but I am definitely more stressed and it's usually during those times that I make mistakes, like really dumb ones and like you, most of the time it's not a...

Hi everyone! So I've been completing my last days of clinicals this week and everything was going pretty well until my last day. So I had to do a regular blood sugar test on a client. I never had trouble doing that until then. I had the blood sample ...
