I amaze myself at how much I can impress my clinical instructor by a few critical thinking ideas, that just seem like common sense to me.
Can't draw up 0.25ml in the dropper? Try drawing it up in a TB syringe? Not rocket science people!
Pt feels dizzy?- Nice and safe, how about getting a set of vitals to start?
I was like the student charge nurse today. If someone or the instructor needed help or a runner or something checked out, or a combative pt distracted, or an assistant for straight cath insertion, it was "Super Christine" to the rescue.
It makes me feel good to help and I suppose that is an important Core Value in Nursing!
Yay! That's a good sign that you know your stuff.
