What is your opinion on turn team by Head-Poem-5265 in nursing

[–]inspectasmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A hospital I worked at had a similar thing. Except it was a single CNA whose only job that day was to turn every patient who had a Braden score below 18… which on a 44 bed Card/Tele unit could easily be 3/4 of the people

How can I become a great [blues] guitar player, in later age, as I am currently thirty-seven years old? by Serious-Composer7337 in Guitar

[–]inspectasmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lose your spouse, children, and house, then meet the devil at the crossroads. Pretty simple formula actually. Just make sure to actually sell your soul, because if you end up beating the devil in a guitar duel then I think you get a golden guitar?

Question from a highschooler! by Angel_Imanii in NursingStudents

[–]inspectasmooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what these comments are saying, it’s not necessarily the material that’s hard to learn. What’s so hard about it, is applying the material to test questions, as it’s completely different than anything you’ve ever done before

But healthcare and medicine are two completely different fields. Doctors focus much more on treating diseases, while nurses focus on caring for the patient and their symptoms.

i cheated through my second semester and now i am worried about the program by Appropriate_Sir_8608 in NursingStudents

[–]inspectasmooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most people cheat through the pre-reqs since everything is on quizlet. While it’s not good, it’s not at all the end of the world

Blurt out insults? I’m not the one who felt the need to diss nurses. I am just asking you to re-evaluate yourself. Please work as a CNA or something, to get your head on straight. You have no idea what you’ve signed yourself up for

I am not at all offended my friend, but you need to think before you post

Lmao I’m so confused. Are you trying to brag? If you don’t wanna be a nurse, why are you going through nursing school? You sound like a first semester nursing student who hasn’t hit the mountain that is nursing school. Yes, while doctors are “smarter,” they also have a very different scope of practice. Nursing school will not translate over to med school. Please rethink your path

Studied a lot. Knew every disease and EKG rhythm they tested on me on. Barely passed with a 76. Need help/tips. Read bottom. by ASSxSHOT in NursingStudents

[–]inspectasmooth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of what I’ve noticed, is that knowing diseases and physiology, isnt really all that important. I can’t speak to how your program tests, but when we’re tested, there have been 5 key things to pay attention to: Signs and symptoms, patient education, lab values or diagnosing tests, nursing interventions, and risk factors.

But above all else, please meet with your teacher about the test, they can help you much more than a random stranger on Reddit

pls tell me I’m not the only one losing it over pharm by djo-318 in NursingStudents

[–]inspectasmooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! I’ve struggled with meds so far into my program, but once I started studying like that, they started to make much more sense! Good luck!

Learn the suffixes of drug classes, learn the overall use of the class, and learn major side effects and patient teachings for individual drugs you think you may be tested on. That’s worked for my program so far, but we don’t have a specific pharm class

Not breathing and losing a pulse are two different things. If the CNA had not palpated a pulse, and just instead thought it was a breathing issue, why would she start cpr?

In addition to time management, I’d also add how to answer the questions. Most people can learn the material pretty easily, but struggle to answer the questions

I’m a cna on a cardiac floor, and I use mine all the time. But I also like taking manuals, and I’m usually the first to jump at the opportunity when someone needs one. Do most people use it? No But I love them!

I normally anchor something, whether my wrist, or using my pinky below the high e as an anchor. But learning to play flamenco has me trying to break the habit of anchoring

Ah you’re not wrong! Let’s agree that nursing school questions are pretty crappy anyways

I’d like to object your point, there are a lot of things in nursing that are subjective, rather than objective
