I fellow LPer asked me a question which i wouldn't mind sharing since I believe it might befenit you guys. Question was " Hi, I don't post much on LP, but I've been reading the board for a few months now. I came across your blog a little while ago and I have a couple questions about nursing, if you don't mind. How difficult has it been to learn the material? Has it been enjoyable? Feel free to share any of your experiences, good or bad, while you've been going through your nursing program, thanks. "
My response:
Sure thing, I’ll be more than happy to answer some questions. Sorry for the late response, I’ve been setting up my new TV and didn't have much time to login to lp. I’m in 2nd year, and I’m enrolled in a 4 year collaborative registered nurse program. The material isn’t that difficult, the only subject I found difficult was pathology because I just don’t have a photographic memory to memorize material, but the hospital experience I gathered and other courses haven’t given me that much trouble. I found the nursing program and my experiences more than enjoyable. The teachers are amazing, I love the hospital work. You learn a great deal everyday and the relationships you make with the patients are honestly a life changing experience. Also not many occupations can you go home and you know you actually made a difference in someone else’s life. I always find myself smiling and having a pleasant time when I’m on the hospital floor, or maybe I’m just lucky that I get a friendly staff that jokes from time to time and not overly stressed.
When it comes to good or bad experiences, a good one for example was a priest that was on my floor last month. He was retired and I could not believe the dirty jokes this guy would tell me. I could not stop laughing every morning. A bad one in the same time frame was a patient that I had to care for about 2 month died. I bounded with her, and I got to know her really well, and I came back the following week to find out that she passed on, so that was a little difficult to accept because even though she was my patient, I also consider most patients my friends.
On a side note, these things don’t really matter that much, but 1/3 patients address me as doctor, if I don’t introduce myself to them, typical stereotype (I’m a male with scrubs, he must be a doctor). I find it that nurses don’t really pick on me as much, since I’m more intimidating than the other student nurses. Also in the program the ratio for male to female must be 1/20 so no complaints from any of the other guys. Any who, I hope some of this info helped you out. If there’s any other questions you might have, feel free to ask. Take care.

| Have you ever wondered which hurts the most: saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had? | |

ive got questions
1: has a mistake youve made caused a patient long term damage or death?
2: why didnt you become a doctor?
3: do you find yourself seeping into the "just a friend" category with all the hot nurses you work with because they are too busy chasing real doctors rather than male nurses. |

Yeah, Pav's biggest concern is probably less 'oh my god I could kill somebody doing this' and more 'oh shit did I just give that guy a boner?' |

Answers:
1. Never
2. A Registered Nurse is 4 years, a doctor is about 12, plus I like the human interactions with my patients.
3. LOL, not sure how to answer this one.

Depends on the medication, but we generally know the dosages to give of a specific mediation. |
