Question And Answer!

This story really happened when I gave post quiz to one of my students after their duty at Surgical ward:

Clinical Instructor: What is the purpose of JP(Jackson-Pratt)?

I'm a student nurse. My first day is tomorrow. What IS JP used for?:chuckle Sorry about the dumb question, but I'm curious about knowing. Thank you.

A JP is a drainage tube that is generally placed in a patient's wound during surgery to help facilitate any drainage from collecting.

Good luck with nursing. It will be the biggest adventure in your life. My advice to you from having been an ED nurse for 20 years would be for you to keep a journal of those exciting, tragic, confusing, frustrating and exhilarating events. I can recall those events but I really wish I had thought to journal them.

Take care

This year, is my 3rd year of teaching as a clinical instructor in medical-surgical ward!

How about this one? My instructor is explaining the microbiology behind malignancies, how rapidly the cancer cells divide, and the various pathological detriments to the patient, etc. He then asks the class, "Are there any questions?" A girl in the class raises her hand and asks, "Well.....(in a very sincere voice as if she had just thought up a new idea) why don't they just cure cancer?" DUHHHHHHH

Same class, half an hour later. Same professor is now advising us on various antimicrobials and how various levels of heat kill some microrganisms and how sometimes burning has to be instituted, yada yada. Same girl, "Uhhhh, then why don't they just do THAT to cancer pts.?" Instructor: "(dumbfounded) Uh, I don't think the patients would like that too much (rolls his eyes)."

:) some students find it hard to answer simple questions...cute and often happens esp. in clinical area...

I had a new really, true to clinical setting story again! Refer to my first thread! Thanks a lot and enjoy your work and duty!

Here is another true story happened when one of my students admitted a patient to surgical ward and started admission interview as historytaking. One of the questionnaire goes like this and this is really answered by the patient.

Student Nurse: Sir, Can you tell me what are the sources of your allergies?

Patient: None. Oh! I forgot! .. I have an allergy for the hospitalization!!

Student Nurse: :)

During rounds with the students, we noticed that the Intern doctor on duty is performing DRE (Digital Rectal Examination) to one of our patient. I asked one of my student....

Clinical Instructor: Why is the doctor doing rectal examination?

Student Nurse: To check the gag reflex!!!

Clinical Instructor: :rotfl:

When I was in nursing school, one of my fellow students walked up to me where I was standing with our clinical instructor. She asked the instructor, "ok, so if I am going to give this drug out of the ampule, how do I break it open?" The instructor told her, and then said, "Oh, and make sure you use a filter when you give it."

The student said, "Ok. So do I use a coffee filter or what?" I looked at the instructor with a shocked look on my face.

Thankfully, this person has failed nursing school three times, so the public is still safe. ;-)
