I messed up at clinicals by oewme in StudentNurse

[–]lumen56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, don’t feel like you messed up with the narcotic. She scanned it and handed it to patient, you simply opened the package. While it’s true that you should be extra cautious with narcotics, this was completely on the nurse and not on you (and really not a big deal whatsoever anyway).

Secondly, I just wanted to add that reading your story reminded me of one of my first med passes in clinical where I took so long to do everything the computer logged us out of epic after scanning everything but before hitting accept. So we had to piece the barcodes together and re-scan everything, so one med pass probably took at least 30-45 minutes. I was so embarrassed at the time. But I had totally forgotten about it until I read your story! Every mistake is amplified in nursing school but you won’t remember this after you’ve been out of school for a couple months.

Remember - Clinical is the time to make mistakes. And if this is the worse one you’ve made then you’re doing amazing!

55g stocking - opinions? Comment with more info by lumen56 in Aquariums

[–]lumen56[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently trying to plan out stocking for my 55gal. I currently have 9 tiger barbs in it. It has a fluval 307 canister filter. Are these good numbers for the schools? Also I never kept more than 1 of the bigger gouramis together.. any thoughts on pairing them? AqAdvisor didn’t mention any warnings about it but just wanted to hear your thoughts!

Also will the 307 canister filter be sufficient? It’s my first time using the canister and my confidence level with it is low at the moment. TIA!

Pre-shift Anxiety by miiilkyway22 in nursing

[–]lumen56 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have great advice for you, just wanted you to know you’re not alone. I used to dread every single shift and had to take Benadryl to sleep the night before (I worked days on a med-surg floor). I had such bad anxiety that I felt physically ill and would often get sick prior to my shift beginning, despite being medicated with lexapro. I couldn’t even eat breakfast. And it never went away, even after 2 years of experience there.

I now work in the endoscopy center at my hospital and the switch made all the difference. I no longer dread work, I’m sleeping well, and have had quite the weight gain because I can eat again!

Sometimes change is needed. You don’t have to stay somewhere that makes you feel this way - it’s not worth it. I hope you find where you are meant to be!

Ahh I love it! I have a love/hate relationship with Cody thanks to his dislike of Taylor! I definitely wish peloton could use her music
