Things I wish they'd taught in nursing school . . .

[MistyDawnRN06, BSN, RN]

I'm in nursing school, and they just don't seem to teach the important things . . .

I'd be interested in anything you have to share.

I wish they'd taught:

Sometimes you have to dig to find a person's private parts.

For female foleys, lift and separate.

Not everyone is circumcised, and you have to know what to do about it.

When parting legs, lift and spread at the same time or you could dislocate a hip.

When inserting an NG, send it straight back, not up. Stick the end in water to see if you're in the lung (it will bubble).
