Understatements

A guest professor made the following comment on a recent class on shock:

"Dead is not a good outcome."

Can I use that in a care plan???

A fellow student made the comment the other day after we finished our patient simulator session, "I really don't think I could work in the ED." Huge understatement for her. The scenario was an unresponsive patient with pulseless V-tach. She was the primary RN and just stood there. No "Call a Code!", no, "Start CPR!", no "Get the AED!", etc. Just stood there. Kind of scary. We graduate in like 3 months and I'm thinking those are kind of basic skills that every nurse should know even if they don't work in the ED.

Job Offer

So, this past weekend, I had an interview in the ED of a hospital where I would like work after I graduate. On Tuesday, they called and offered me a job! Woo-hoo!!!! It has kind of made it hard to stay focused on school.......
