Wow ... it is finally here! A forum that is designed to help you get in contact with Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses, who can help you with your interview assignments. There has been so many posts in the past that Brian has made this forum available to you! :rotfl:
It is my pleasure to co-moderate this forum with VickyRN!!!!! :balloons: I am sure she will be along soon and will also post her welcome! Given that this is a new forum, I am sure we will all learn together and I know I am excited to have a forum that helps students.
So, let's start hearing from the students .... questions that you might have and ways in which you think you can use this forum.
I am a first semester nursing student who has an assignment I need some help with from an RN. I would love to hear about your current or past experiences as a nurse, if you have time please post a reply.

Thank you:)
What kind of experiences? Things that happened? Patient care? Other nurses? Management issues?
Brian did have a great idea for this. I am currently and LPN I went straight into home health care and have been on the same case for several years. I had forgotten a lot of information since I don't use it everyday. Right now I have a 17mth old son and only work per-diem. This site will be really helpful since I am going back to school to earn my RN, BSN. I will also be willing to help if I can.

I'm just looking for insight into experiences within patient care or other nurses, it doesnt really matter really. I have an assignment which is to gain some insight into nursing from an RN through your experiences.
hello I have my clinical final on Tuesday and I found out that it is the luck of the draw. You have to literraly pick what you will do out of a hat!!!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It will be either a pulmonary, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, or neurological.
I am a second semester LVN student. I'm in clinicals with 2 patients completely nurse dependent. We are to do assessments, gluco checks, give insulin, vitals, meds, document, dressings etc. How is it that you organize yourself to get everything done in a timely manner without feeling you have ADD? I have to give 22 medications today, insulin and all the other stuff listed above, and I nearly lost it! :uhoh21: [email protected]
Hi! I was hoping that there would be an RN here that I could ask some questions for my first semester as a Nursing student. Please let me know who I would be able to talk to.
Many thanks,
Nursekjolby :)

Determine times of meds, BGM', and insulin delivery. Vitals done first before getting them up or any meds. AM Care, 08 meds, sign for meds as you go, DONT wait until the shift is nearly over. After breakfast, wound care. Document as it is done.
Make yourself a worksheet. Something broken up into hours. In the appropriate block fill in room number of who has meds, scheduled vitals, BGM, Insulin, anything that has to be done at a set time. Use the blank time blocks for wound care, assessments, etc. Skin and LOC assessment can be done while care is being performed, If incontinent you know how GI system is working. Some bowel sounds are audible to the naked ear:chuckle
You don't have ADD, you just have to learn to multitask.....
It comes with time and don't let people tell you "that isn't how XX does it" you'll find a routine that works for you.
Someday, in the not too distant future, you'll be medicating 25 people and providing am care for 4-5, wound care for any of those 25 that require it, tube feeds, etc., and look back and laugh.

I would recommend starting a new thread on this forum to see if there is a nurse that work directly with you. Many of the nurses here are very willing to help. Good luck.
