Yenta – “or emergency etc.”
Why would an emergency make a difference to a student? What can a nursing student do – are you even allowed to touch the pt. without the nurse giving the Ok?
When I was doing an ER shift to become what I am now -there was this one Nurse who thought she was on top of the world. Nurses love to boss people around who they think they are on top of. I had some run-ins when I was a medic student. Anyways recently when I had down time in the ER -I’d like to start lines and do skills to practice. So she saw me and said “go start a line over there.” I said “fine.” I did it. Then later she said -“Aren’t you a Medic student?” (They had some Medic students once in awhile in that ER.) I said “No.” So she said – “Oh, I thought you were.” I said -“No problem -I like to keep my skills fresh.” She never said boo to me again except once.
