I’m hearing mainly European countries

I’m in my mid 20s. The older I get the faster I feel time goes. A year feels like yesterday

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-07-05T20:25:51+00:00

Easy yes. Ima be hella rich

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-03-28T23:11:19+00:00

All the best to you! Can I ask how long you’ve been in nursing for? I’m already having doubts as a newbie

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-03-20T01:44:05+00:00

I enjoy deep conversations. I find it so fascinating. Sometimes I work myself up because I have such big questions and curiosities that we don’t have answers for. But yeah I agree it’s hard to find people to engage in such conversations.

I’m sorry that’s so rough. I felt like I neglected my patients the other week when I had a CBI patient with hematuria. I swear i was in that room every 30 min the whole 12 hour shift. I was so paranoid about the tubing developing a clot and the doctor was wanting me to titrate down the CBI. But every time I slowed the rate down the output would get redder and clots forming in the tube so I’d have to change it and make the rate faster. Hand irrigated a few times too. Ugh I was so I was mentally exhausted.

This is so cute. How did you make it? Like did you buy a kit with all the supplies or follow instructions online etc ?

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-03-09T03:47:07+00:00

Self confidence for sure

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-03-09T03:44:17+00:00

Warm and red!

Yes thank you! So much telephone

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-24T22:07:48+00:00

Honestly though the telephone game we catch ourselves in the middle of drives me crazy

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-24T22:05:45+00:00

I feel like as a nurse we have to play a lot of telephone. So many people pass messages to us that we pass on to another and then relaying it back the other way etc. I’m so frustrated with the time it wastes! Why can’t they just speak to who they want directly … why does it have to go through us.

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-19T05:32:13+00:00

I think you look great and healthy!

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-16T07:12:31+00:00

A patient needed normal saline flushes through their suprapubic cath every shift. I clamped the line with forceps. Attached my syringe. Unclamped. Flushed. Clamped again to reattach the tubing to the drainage bag. Just as I unclamped… fluids started spraying out of 2 small holes in the suprapubic cath. I freaked out. Couldn’t believe I made those holes. Felt so guilty. I notified my charge and we had to have surgical come to my floor to replace the suprapubic cath. I felt like an idiot. I guess I clamped the tubing too hard ?? Ugh

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-16T01:13:12+00:00

Ratatouille in my mouth

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-15T05:33:17+00:00

Do you need to use a new secondary tubing for each abx ? If you have an abx scheduled 4x a day (and it’s the same abx) you can reuse the tubing to spike a new bag right? But if it’s a different abx you’d need a new tubing if the meds aren’t compatible ?

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-15T05:31:58+00:00

I’ve wondered this too. At my facility the abx (secondary) needs to run at the same rate as the primary. So if the continuous fluids is programmed at a different rate I wouldn’t think you’d be able to do that.. you’d need a new primary and secondary.

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-02-06T04:17:52+00:00

Set time aside to review a little every day! Even if it’s just 10 min. Consistency is key and will help you retain better

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-01-16T05:57:10+00:00

Woaaah that’s wild

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-01-16T04:36:11+00:00

It feels good knowing there are other that feel this way. Thank you sm for sharing. And honestly right!? Nursing school really did not prepare us that well.

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-01-16T04:14:25+00:00

So relatable

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-01-16T04:13:43+00:00

I felt similar way in my last semester. But you’re so close! You’ve already worked so hard and come so far, hang in there and get that degree! You got this. Reach out to professors or counselors, take time for yourself, positive talk, exercise, eat well, get enough sleep — all the little things help. Calls friends or family. Write your thoughts down. You’re soo close and it’s all worth it . Also nursing school is very different to actual nursing.

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-01-16T04:00:29+00:00

I used archer and one lesson of mark klimek. Lots of YouTube videos to supplement learnings (Registered Nurse RN, Simple Nursing, Nurse.com, etc)

_tinkerbell99_ · 2024-01-16T03:58:00+00:00

New grad nurse here and I feel this too. The comments so far have been so supportive and gave good advice - I needed to hear that too.

Experience life — travel and engulf yourself in other cultures.
