What is a watch with a second hand?

Published

Is that a digital watch that counts down the seconds? I am in my first semester at school. Please tell me because I have to buy it. I came here because you guys are more experienced. Thanks.

Specializes in ER, Medicine.

Just curious, but are you (wannabe) from another country? I know they use different terminology in other countries. Actually, that would be an interesting thread. To get nurses from different countries and see what they call certain things. For instance, I heard that in Australia, they call pharmacies "chemists"; doctors are referred to as "quacks"

Unfortunately, there are a lot of 'Quacks' here in the US of A as well... :lol2:

I've got to take up the side for "WannaBeANurse". While his/her question may seem to funny to a lot of you (as it obviously does, from the posts), it is very real to him/her. I once got a nursing student to precept for home health and she couldn't take a B/P with an "old-fashioned" cuff that you have to pump up and read an analog display while listening with a stethoscope!! She had only learned/seen the electronic ones. Geeees, this stuff is basic, but her question to me was very real for her..."How does this thing work?"

"Wanna..." reached out to us, as experienced nurses; trusted us. How do you think he/she feels now, with all the put-downs you've delivered to them? They sure learned a lesson; and it wasn't about watches!!! Shame on y'all!!!
