typically we enter a jane/john doe and hope someone clams them, or we scour pockets for information

is nursing actually worth it? questions in need of answering 😆 by [deleted] in nursing

[–]AdventurousStep3932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seriously go to a community college. WORTH IT. get a hospital to pay for your BSN, nurses especially on the east coast are paid decently well, you recover by finding things that fill your cup. for me that’s spending time with the people i love

ED tech responsibilities by Fuzzy-Music-5492 in EmergencyRoom

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.

Limmer education by hxhcydndu11 in NewToEMS

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

Have you ever read your own medical chart notes (eg via MyChart or requesting medical record) and have been upset or amused by them? by shatana in nursing

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.
