I feel workflow SHOULD be taught in clinical rotations. If nursing clinicals actually allowed nursing students to do the work of nurses instead of treating nursing students as CNAs (no offense to the hard working CNAs) or a personnel that only hand out water to patients and waste time in doing care plans no one uses, it would be an easier transition.
@@NurseNacole I feel that it happened in my school 8 years ago and I’ve seen it in other schools once I became a RN. And I have seen it now that I am a FNP but I hope things are changing for the better. But so far I’ve seen 3-5 schools operating like this in New York.
I’ve been a new trauma icu nurse for 13months just decided to go part time. Horrible working environment, nursing just isn’t what i thought it would be.
I am a nurse for 9 years now. I have been working my dream job in the NICU for over 7. But, the way my organization treats nurses is killing my love for the profession. They are tightening staffing assignments, my state has horrible wages for nurses and our cost of living has skyrocketed. They are taking away benefits, taking away our pto, increasing our out of pocket expenses on our medical insurance. My company owns it own medical insurance company yet the nursing staff, cna staff and such have horrible benefits. Yet if you are a physician you have excellent healthcare benefits. This is what is driving me away from my dream job. It is so hard and I don't know what to do.
I totally understanding your frustration there. That's a tough one. Yes, the insurance can be VERY expensive from what I've experienced anyway. Meanwhile some places have doctors paying $5 a month, haha. I don't get why everyone if healthcare doesn't get that luxury.
I want to be a nurse but I’ve heard so many horror stories and it scares me. I know nurses that have left bedside care and are now in other areas or left the profession all together.
Yes, there are many horror stories, a workplace makes or breaks it though. Don't get too stuck on someone else's experience. I LOVE LOVE my job and the people around me do also.... BUT it is because the organization does things to ensure our happiness and listens. Each place is different : )
I keep saying we all need to out in our two weeks notice. No strike nurses, no travel nurses, no agency nurses, NOTHING! Everyone put in their two weeks and see how quickly the hospitals buckle. They treat nurses like a bill/expense, we aren’t respected. But try to run a hospital without nurses…see if we are an “expense” then.
Nursing students shouldn't have acreal world clinical... 6 to 8 pts, assessments, meds, critical thinking, time management, etc. I've seen nursing students in the aide/tech role and tgats it and then capstone they fail because they didn't get those opportunities from their programs

When I have students. We do assessments, pass meds and round
Do you feel that happens in most schools?

Thank you for sharing.
I’m an LPN (almost 6 years) and I just don’t feel like I should go back for my RN. I feel like it’s not worth it anymore. I want a different career.
Really, what were you thinking of getting into?

Short staff and low pay is one reason

@@NurseNacole what?
@@AnointedRain I said thanks for sharing, I bet they would get their act together quicker than usual of that happened haha.
@@NurseNacole oh yes lol.
I feel like burnout is the biggest reason for why nurses are quitting, and the current healthcare system is doing nothing to help with that.
I agree, thank you for sharing.
