Right?! It made me giggle

or pinch them really hard:)

If you accidentally rip out their foley catether it will go up as well. (Do not recommend.)

I thought the EXACT same thing!! Important information streamlined very well

instaBlaster...

He likes learning to then break it down the most simplest way to teach others! He is pretty awesome!💯

That's my plan please tell me how was your transition

Stef nee Wow! Would be awesome if we could cross train into animal OR/ICU. #dreamlife Saving people and animals! Haha

Hey Megan! That’s so exciting you must be done soon! ICU is definitely a beast of its own and it can never be fully controlled. But I personally really loved it. I’m sure you will too! Best of luck and huge congratulations on all you’ve already accomplished!

Any tips for a icu residency program interview?

Kilo 26 be confident in yourself. I struggled with that a lot. Also, be prepared for clinical scenario types of questions like if you have a pt with low BP and is dizzy what are you gonna do? At least that’s how mine started. I was sweating balls 😆

I nearly died from a "spontaneous" spleen rupture. My hemoglobin drop bloe 6. Elders from my congregation and family and friends, prayed over me. I have spotted memory. Know that your training, care, knowledge and gut feeling is a gift. ❤

How is it going? I have an interview for a new grad residency in the icu

Why is that?

@@juansaldarriaga8676 I might be wrong but I think it's to check the kidney functions and make sure it can clear the fluids

@@tyrmyrmidon2846 yeah, probably because you cant even give k+ to anyone who have any acute kidney injury or until the urine is at least 30 ml/hr

Tabitha Klein hows it been going?? I start in 2 months

Alexis Veal that's a great opportunity, but you shouldn't worry cna don't have that much of responsibility as nurses. I've been a Cna for 3 years and it's not bad. Just make sure to check urine, output take vitals, monitor input and output correctly, reposition patients every 2 hours and change them and give bed baths do oral care etc.

I was very nervous when I went in to Office Max for my interview. I have been working there for 2 years. You will do fantastic

Pablo Espana pablo how is it going? Tomorrow is my 8th day and i feel soo insecure still

We are in the exact same boat! Best of luck stay calm and stay safe!

Mariangely i feel you! Thats me right now

Hi! How was the transition? I'm a MS Tele nurse abt to do the same..

@@TM11.. overwhelming but we have a pretty good orientation where I work, a couple months and lots of classes. So it wasn't so bad, hard when you're an anxious person tho!

@daniellezm Understandable! I'm pretty anxious too, lol so we'll see! But I guess anything new would make us feel this way, but good thing is that we do hv a nursing basis coming in, just gotta change our thought process. Thanks for the insight and continued success on your journey!

@@TM11.. thank you

Bubblebee Poo I have very few issues with nursing, but one of my biggest is when “nurses eat their young.” There are going to be preceptors who make you feel low, but please don’t let them discourage you. ICU is hard, there’s no getting around it. But push through it and you’ll find after some time you’ll be swimming and you’ll be the one precepting. The one thing I ask is that you don’t buy into a culture of putting new people down. As to your question on a patient condition changing quickly. If you’re still being precepted, call your preceptor, no matter how scary or impersonal they are. It’s a patients life. Their job is to teach you and your job is to learn. Call them if you feel uncomfortable or concerned about a patients condition, and regardless of their attitude there is something to learn from someone who is experienced, even if they don’t want to teach. So call, explain your rationale, see what they say or do, and take a mental note or actually write a note, review it when you get home and believe it or not... you’ll learn from that. It’s kind of like a sport, I wrestled and really enjoyed MMA and there was something coaches called “mat time” you could practice all you want, drill etc but nothing improved an athlete more than really being in the situations over and over again to become comfortable and competent and know what to do. You learned even when you didn’t know you were learning, when you were just trying to survive. That’s kind of how ICU is. So keep getting your time in, learn as much as you can, study situations that happened during the day when you get home and it will take some time, but one day you’ll be shocked at how much you’ve learned, one day you’ll be the person teaching what you know. So stick with it and don’t let anyone discourage you from being the best you can be.

Josiah Shoon thank you again!
