      Tanya, will you be working on a trauma medsurg floor or just trauma? My hospital has a medsurg trauma floor.

    Sorry if this is personal but how dod u get kicked put of the nursing program? Hows ICU for u now?

    • @michofalltrades
      @michofalltrades  2 роки тому +2

      in nursing school, we were only allowed to get a C grade or below 2 times in the 4 year program. on the third time, we get kicked out the program. So, there was one semester that i had gotten a low grade in 2 classes, and then the next time was my last straw.

      asking questions! dont be afraid to ask questions!!! Also, you have to do your fair share of studying and reviewing the new drugs, treatments and diagnoses that you might find in the ICU that you may have not seen before!

    What is a safe patient ratio for a new nurse in ICU?

    • @michofalltrades
      @michofalltrades  3 роки тому +10

      Hey! a safe ratio is 1:1 or 1:2. anything more than that is unsafe.

      @@stywoke5241this is most likely because of the staffing issues nationwide . But regardless , 1:4 ratio is not a safe ratio for ICU care
