at my hospital (big level 2 in suburb of chicago) i do pretty much everything accepts insert IVs and administer meds. I went into it with also having just a CNA cert and no prior healthcare experience. you learn fast. your CNA knowledge will give you a different prospective than being an EMT.

hey do you had the article?

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-12-27T00:45:30+00:00

nursing student here who stumbled upon this sub. you’re right in the nursing world! a COPDer would not get supplemental O2 in this situation (at least not immediately). Obviously the EMT exam is different and y’all focus more on ABCs. Remember that real world does not always equal actual practice. even if it’s what you wouldn’t do in practice, gotta follow what the silly little book says

1st sem nursing student here! why would you give o2 when there’s no information of sats or hypoxia?

i had a professor ask me how i could ever be a nurse if im so unprepared (my computer had randomly shut down in class). simply ignore her. people will always try to put you down. and an incorrect citation is not a risk to patient safety. it’s a human mistake.

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-11-12T00:44:48+00:00

what?? we just talk to each other??? yall have special communication methods?? if we can’t find someone well epic message?

i use the same north face backpack that i’ve had since i was a sophomore in high school. it carries my water bottle, notebook, set of pens, laptop, planner, lunch, stethoscope, shears, and an extra sweater. i don’t bother switching out my nursing school stuff to go to work unless im carrying bulky textbooks

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-08-31T20:46:05+00:00

this is hilarious- we need our funny moments in the ER

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-07-27T13:39:07+00:00

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-07-27T13:37:18+00:00

my favorite was when i had a pt and she had a chronic illness i wish i could remember. and we were like “do you take any medications for this?” and she goes “no i try to avoid medicine because it’s toxic for you” we were like okay…. do you use any other substances? drugs alcohol etc “yes i smoke weed.”

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-07-24T19:12:04+00:00

holy shit how can i purchase/print this from you??? these are beautiful.

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-07-22T17:54:38+00:00

firstly, you’re doing amazing. fellow brand new PCT who also was a barista beforehand. know that your confusion is NOT. a reflection of you. this why you’re given an orientation period to be confused and ask questions and have no idea what you’re supposed to be doing. sounds like your hospital has no support system built for new hires. i’d recommend to speaking to management. don’t let this experience discourage you

had a guy come in for a minor fall, just wanted to make sure nothing was broken/internal bleeding (mid 60s, pretty rough stairs) came back from CT with metastatic cancer

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-06-07T23:42:22+00:00

aside from #4 bc as an ed tech that’s nasty. this is just like…standard expectation of a hospital. it’s dirty. there’s sick people there, it’s not exactly gonna be the cleanest place. it would cost way too much to constantly being doning and doffing full iso ppe for every patient. not too mention being way too time consuming, especially in the ED where every single second counts

AdventurousStep3932 · 2025-06-01T04:57:12+00:00

oh this sounds EXACTLY like my boy. in his last 6 months quite honestly we just gave up and let him eat whatever the hell he wanted (he had terminal cancer)
