Ask the nurses to do cool stuff!!!!!

I am constantly amazed how many students just kinda go with the flow and get the minimum experience. You guys need to be asking to do stuff. If you haven’t done something let the other nurses know. You will be surprised how many of them will find you cool stuff for you to do. I have been noticing a huge difference in proactive vs just follow the routine students lately. If it’s coming to the end of the semester and you haven’t done an IV or something TELL YOUR NURSE, let them know it doesn’t have to be on your pt. We can call other floors and ask what they have going on, tell the charge, etc. But that doesn’t happen if you don’t ask!!!!!
