I can top it....I got so overwhelmed that I cried on my first day! So embarrassing to have the instructor sit you down and have to calm you down....LOL but you always get through it, and you come out on the other side knowing more than when you went in. Can't wait to graduate next year!!!!
Oh my gosh I’m not the only one!! I’m in my first semester, and on my first day of clinicals I cried too for the same reason. My instructor kept spitting out questions faster than I could keep up with and I just got so emotional lol. I kind of feel like the people in my clinical group think I’m a baby now, but whatever. I just hope things come more naturally after a while.
I love this channel. You have such a bright light about you. Thank you for sharing with us!
After passing my first ever exam in nursing school today, I’ve realized nursing school is same as an impending battle coming your way. You gotta be ready to fight and it’s a rush when you do.
Had my first therapeutics lab today and we did an exercise where we had to practice just introducing ourselves to patients and asking about their condition. After I introduced myself I just froze and my heart was beating super fast. My anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF. I can't even imagine how I'm gonna feel during clinical.
I literally had that happen to me in clinicals last week and what I thought in my head was what intervention can I use lol so I went back in there and I stated to the patient that I need to practice this because I am a student and I want to be a good nurse someday and they allowed me to assess them and at the end of the night I realize that the patient was just not in a good mood hadn't slept for a few days and depressed. By the end of the night the patient didn't want me to leave. Awww
today wasn't a good day, I'm doing my presecs for nursing. you have greatly inspired me to keep going, with your videos :) thank you!
Keep posting bro! Really motivating!
I'm currently in nursing school trying to get through pathophysiology at the moment.
Thanks so much for your story Nurse Bass. Today was my first day of Nursing clinicals coincidentally. We are on a tele cardio-pulmonary floor in a trauma 1 regional hospital out of Illinois. We are looking pretty green out there, looking like lost puppies, also our scrubs are Green. Wanted to thank you for your videos they helped get me prepared for Nursing school mindset and make it through the first month of School. I have no idea how you had time for all these videos through School. Anyway I digress, keep inspiring future Nurses!
Haha 😂. This reminds me of my 1st day too when I had to take a patient's health history and physical assessment. First thing I said was "Good Morning " and the next thing I heard was "Get out, you nurses are so annoying ". Backed out and left. Clinics. You gotta love them.
😂😂😂
Didn't you knock on the door?
@@Purpleeyes92 Yeah. About 3 times.
Why I prefer kids. Adults are to stubborn for their own good.
You're the best man! Your videos always give me a smile and I'm sure they'll be very helpful for me in the near future
Rinovi Absolutely my friend! :)
I take my entrance Hesi exam in 2 weeks. I’m trying to get in to nursing school by the spring semester. Thank you for all the helpful videos! I will definitely be referencing some during my semesters in nursing school in the future!
Hey nurse bass in my 3rd week of nursing school first clinical day tmr. Thanks for the story makes me excited. Happy to see another video from you!!!
Ps. And I'm starting my first on the renal floor too! #malenurse
Currently first semester in nursing school and just want to say I love your content.
Kevin Penner I love it my friend! Happy to have you here!
Today is my first day of clinical. A little anxious while waiting for my ride so I had to watch your video first for motivation. Thanks bro!
I thank our instructor for pairing us up for our first clinical! I would have died, since I'm SUPER introverted, lol. By our second clinical I felt so much more confident in myself and my patients was super sweet! :)
Love to hear stories, maybe you could share more!!! Thanks for making me laugh ;)
Omg thank you so much for sharing this I would have freaked I'm planning on being a nurse my nerves would have been so bad
This is hilarious! My first day of clinical is tomorrow at a nursing home. I'm really nervous! Hopefully I get a compliant patient that will let me do an assessment on them!
My program doesnt allow us on the computers, so we can use the stuck to the computer excuse lol. However, I did ask the RN's which patient's at our facility were more welcoming of having students, so it made that first day easier
first semester nursing student right now! I’m already stressing the real clinical setting next semester
Love your videos man! Still knocking out my pre req's but next fall I'll be in the thick of it
Woah bro the first thing I noticed was how much weight you dropped 😮. Idk what you’re doing but keep that grind going you’re killing it!!
question: i might be missing the point, but did you still go out there and tell him he had to be assessed lol
That is how EMT clinicals was for me, I was so scarred to just be there. It was fun though, I just went in rooms and asked what their problem was and just asked how it happened, and asked to take their vitals. Unfortunately, I should have said I was an EMT student because they thought I could actually help.
Hey NurseBass,
This is unrelated to the video but I had a question about a video you made a long time ago "How to Study in Nursing School: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE! (Everything You Need to Know!)." Say you're given a Microsoft word document and the notes are already organized -- would you recommend re-transcribing those notes onto a new, separate document or would you instead just review the content that has already been provided?
Thanks,
Trevor
What would you do now if you had a patient that said they didn’t want to be assessed? I’m in my second semester and have yet to run across a pt like this! So when it does happen I hope I will say/do the right thing! 😋
Good video, I think we all have a story like this ;)
My first clinical I put the blood pressure cuff on backwards! I was so scared
You worked in Cardiac Post-Op? I am a heart patient. I had a mechanical valve replacement an was in the hospital for a month. Kinda made me wanna be a nurse more. How is the cardiac ward as a nurse? I am wanting to be a cardiac NP for kids. I only have my experience and all my visits growing up. I can mess with the monitors a lot haha.
Oh yeah I did let my clinical instructor know and she stated she would have just gave me another patient LOL
Well that settles that. first day of clinical(S)
Question 1#," what shall I do if the patient has no desire for me assess them?" :) I already mapped out this scenario in
my head anyway. thank for sharing
My first clinical rotation ever is in a month. So I have to ask... What should you have done in that situation? Should you just basically say sorry sir but I have to assess you and hope he then is cool with it?
Inconsistent TechDad No. you just say okay that’s fine I can come back a little later. As a student we have to be okay with that because the incoming nurse most likely assessed the pt. But as an RN I think we would just have to try again later when they’re more cooperative because we HAVE to assess them.
@@Sandra-jv7jt Thanks for the info :) I wasn't sure because the way he sounded in the video made it kinda sound like walking off was a Cardinal sin or something lol.
Looking very slim buddy!!
So what advice did the nurse give you when you told her that the patient didn’t want to be assessed right now?
Anthony Preman The Nurse wasn’t very student-friendly to begin with. She proceeded to go assess the patient herself and disregarded it.
where was your therapeutic communication bruh lol funny ish
Did you end up assessing this patient? What happened after you told the nurse? 😊
Lol nope, I never did that day. That was an L for your boy lol. And what happened after I told the nurse was she basically rolled her eyes at me and went in to assess him and go about her day lol.
I need some advice I just turned 19 and i haven't started college yet because my mental health is really bad..so I keep beating myself up calling myself a loser for not doing it..how can I improve
Start SLOW. Take one class, online if you have to. Just get yourself started. I did prerequisites part time for 2 years before applying to the nursing program because I didn't feel ready. I've got terrible anxiety, and I've been having my doctor monitor and coach me through the program. YOU CAN DO IT!
@@ninjaexitonly thank you so much also i live in a different state than my whole family so I'm having trouble not having anyone help me sign up for school but I'm an adult so i need to learn!
@@summer-kh4jv that is tough! But go right up to school and see a counselor they will walk you through everything!
That was my plan 😁
@@summer-kh4jv you are not a loser!! Tell yourself you can do this! Don't get stuck in that negative mind set. I know it's hard. Focus on one step at a time, sign up for school one or two classes, go at your own pace you're just starting out. So am I. I'm in nursing school, working on prerequisites and general education right now and I'm honestly scared but I push myself because I see so many other people who are nurses, helping others, I want to help them too, so I keep going. When you get into school, focus on studying the material. Don't pay attention to negative thoughts or get caught up with people in class.
I had a nurse tell me that I should not be nurse because I couldn't figure out how to do a math problem right, to give the right dose of medication to a patient. I was so hurt and angry, I cried and thought I shouldn't be a nurse. But she was wrong. I'm going to get through this. Practice math problems, read the books until you know it inside and out. Mistakes happen. It's okay. I wish you the best of luck.
Hahha! Not letting your ICU patients call the shots on you now, huh?!!! :)
I just started my first semester of nursing school and I was scared to death to assess my first patient, but thankfully they wanted to be assessed unlike yours lol!! I also just started my own channel and would love if you checked it out!
ayeee lmao
Why is it embarrassing for you that he didn’t want to be assessed? It you did the right thing by going to the charge. But I’m not sure how that’s embarrassing?
Lol I haven't seen this video in forever. It was embarrassing to have to go back to the Nurse and tell her that the patient didn't want to be assessed right then. But it was the initial assessment of the shift, which just simply has to be performed. It isn't optional. So that was the embarrassing part: that I went back to that nurse and was just like "the patient doesn't want to be assessed right now" knowing that it has to be done lol
