A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A NURSING STUDENT | CLINICAL EDITION

[@nursingschoolandbeyond7644]

Hey there, I love how positive you are and how excited you are as a nursing student (I'm with you there, I graduate as a LPN in May and have 2 more semesters for RN.) I just really want to encourage you to be careful about what you are posting online. It is very risky to be filming in any hospital like that (even as an employee) and even more risky as a student in a clinical rotation.

Huge congrats on putting in your first IV and Foley catheter! As a nurse, all your love, care, hard work, and dedication are really a matter of appreciation. Thank you for all you did!👏

I get emotional when I look back on this clinical experience, because it was probably one of the best clinical experiences I've had to this date.

[@yourloyalfollower6667]

Hey!! I’m attenting Chamberlain now! You should give us an update on how you are doing and where you are now in your career.

[@jadenorthcut9683]

I’m in my final semester of nursing school and it is interesting to see the difference between Canadian and American nursing school. We are not allowed to insert an IV until we have been trained by the hospital and registered with the college of nurses.

[@emmamamanurse]

I have also learned recently that some nursing colleges here in the US do not train students on IVs. It sounds like it just depends on which school you go too.

[@jasonlang9074]

What??? Wow! We learn IV’s and then are able to put them in during clinical

[@TheArmedNurse]

@@melanininscrubs What are the hardest classes that you've encountered so far? I'm only in my first semester and taking the Fundamentals of Nursing along with A&P II. Both classes require a lot of studying but compared to some other classes I took before I came to nursing school (I used to do Computer Science), they are A LOT easier to understand. I failed calculus which was when I knew CS was not for me 😂

[@melanininscrubs]

@@TheArmedNurse honestly the prerequisites were tougher than the actual nursing classes A&P was tough for me but the nursing classes seem to be easier...it just is so much studying and learning to think differently. It may be that I’m in an accelerated program which means I’m in school year round nonstop. I don’t get much of a break and it makes things overwhelming, but I get my bsn in two years so it will be worth it in the end 😩

[@TheArmedNurse]

@@melanininscrubs I'm in an accelerated program too! I finish next year. I agree. A&P is incredibly tough but it's doable. It's not really tough in the sense that it is hard to understand but rather there is so much memorization. I found A&P I to be tougher than A&P II. Memorizing all those bones, muscles, and tissues was torture.

Great video. What prerequisites did you take before applying to chamberlain in order for you to finish in 14 months? I will like to graduate in that timeframe too!

[@raydnriley8408]

Hi! I’m currently a student at chamberlain and would love to answer. So it’s a three year program and whatever classes you’ve taken previously will knock down that time frame. So English, Anat 1 and 2, micro/lab, Algebra, psychology, Chem. And then some history electives and sociology electives. With all of that completed then you’d finish in 2 years and 4 months. I hope that helps a little. If you have anymore questions or info on the process don’t be afraid to message me I’d love to help anyone.

[@isabellavmorales]

@@raydnriley8408 Hi Radyn, I am applying at the Chamberlain in Sacramento, which is highly competitive. If I get in, I start in January. Their “competitive” Hesi score is 87 and I got 87.8%, I also graduated high school with an overall GPA of a 4.0-4.8, then I took a lot of basic classes at my local community college and got a 4.0 for my three semesters completed. Do you think I have a good chance of being accepted? I’m scared lol the meeting is October 4. I would’ve liked to get a 90 on the Hesi but, it wasn’t possible for me. My advisor said that my score was good enough to be a competitive applicant but idk…I would love your feedback. What were your stats?

[@raydnriley8408]

@@isabellavmorales hey Isabella! I think you’re chances are extremely high! I got an 86% on my Hesi and all my pre requisites were completed with A’s and B’s. My gpa was a 3.3 so I definitely think you’ll get in. Make sure to submit a passion statement on why you’ll be a great addition to the program, that’s what really gave me an advantage because most students forget to do so.

[@isabellavmorales]

@@raydnriley8408 Hi Radyn, I already submitted my application and the advisor only made us answer 3 particular questions.

I’m shocked you’re allowed to film in your facility! If we even post a picture on a blank wall or in the bathroom in our facility in our scrubs we get in trouble😳

[@riiii556]

REALLY WHY???

[@andibarefoot9766]

@@riiii556 Theres a few reasons we are told! One is that if there happens to be someone in the hallway/bathroom or whatever it would be a breach of privacy or if there happened to be any thing in the background like a folder with a patient name or something or a computer screen with charts pulled up etc. Another reason if any patients happen to see the picture online of us in scrubs at the facility, they have the patient oak to complain of us being lazy/ not getting work done. All the things listed above have actually happened to someone at our facility so that’s why the rule is so strict now!

[@david65662]

Plus, due to HIPPA laws. We as medical staff. Cannot record any patients under any circumstances. With the exception of covid-19. But, that also varies state by state. And, the patients condition. But, its mostly all about what HIPPA laws states.

[@emmamamanurse]

We were told we can record and take pictures as long as we don't take pictures of the patients.

As a current EMT that just finished LVN school I do recommend moving to the next level of the medical field once you feel ready. Do not be lazy and stay as the EMT base for too long. Yes being an EMT is fun learning is great but I learned it is not the best idea for a career(for me). Either way good luck on your NREMT and make sure you take every clinical opportunity possible to learn.

I'm interested in a medical career either a nurse or a pediatrician. But I still have a question, after I graduate high school is it better to go to a medical school, nurse school or go directly to college?

[@meryama1103]

to be a nurse you have to go through a nursing program, such as BSN, LPN, etc. to enter med school be a paediatrician, you have to take an undergraduate and get a bachelors degree which you can then apply to medical school with. (Most common route) I’m sure there are other ways but, these are standard.

[@darcyliliana4907]

You can major in nursing and do pre med as a track. And you choose from there what you want . Check out medical school insiders

[@raginasiangaming910]

Great video. Does anyone know if there's a way to select what departments you do clinicals in? I know that I'd rather work ER (preferably in a hospital with a high rate of trauma patients). I am not a normal Nursing student. I spent 10 years as a grunt in the military and then another half decade working as a security contractor. I have no interest in working in a maternity ward or anything like that. I do my best work under high stress or in confrontational situations (this has been my adult life). I'd like to work an inner-city ER or any ER with a high rate of trauma patients. I know clinicals are just practical application and schooling, but I'd rather just focus on where I know I want to be, rather than spending that time training in an area that I have no wish to go to and will probably avoid like the plague.

Is this for your RN or BSN?

[@TheArmedNurse]

Chamberlain only offers a BSN program. They are extremely expensive though. I was going to go that route but when I had my financial aid interview, I realized it was going to cost over $90k! So I went to a local state school instead for much cheaper.

[@emmamamanurse]

Chamberlain is a BSN nursing college, however they do have an RN to BSN option. I'm one of the lucky ones because I got numerous scholarships as well as a partnership with the hospital I work at. I get 15% off my tuition because I work with a partnering hospital with my school. I pay around $13,000 a year.

[@santimio4098]

You are so lucky that you get to do real clinicals because I am in my last year of nursing school in Florida and we haven’t been able to do real clinicals only simulations online. Uuurrggghhhh. I don’t think we are getting the experience that we need.

According to the bibles genealogy the world is only 6000 years old which disputes fossil records and all science which prove the earth is 5.4 billion years old Jesus said nearly 2000 years ago:Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." And he said speaking of end times when the antichrist would come: Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. And speaking of slavery which the bible permits: When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. Also the tribe of benjamin was permitted to capture "a damsel or two for himself" and force them into marriage to unwillingly bear children by rape. Deuteronomy 13:12 you hear it said about one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you to live in that troublemakers have arisen among you and have led the people of their town astray, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods you have not known), then you must inquire, probe and investigate it thoroughly. And if it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done among you,you must certainly put to the sword all who live in that town. You must destroy it completely, both its people and its livestock.(including people who had nothing to do with it)
