Level 3: Med/Surg Clinical Time Management

What school do you attend?

@nursingstudent2015 same here ! i can’t wait to study

@MissSarahBaby17 lol, of course I do. What else would I do at clinicals and how else would I get nursing experience?

@krissy14845 LVN portion is 18 months. Aug 2010 – Dec 2011

@chrissy4777 No, just for the LVN portion. I can during RN but I wouldn’t graduate any faster so I’m definitely going to take them off!

Great video! cant wait till your next one !

Nice video! Very helpful.

@heatherheartsnursing Lol alright, I didn’t know. I’m going to nursing school soon haha.

What Year is the summer semester?

Thanks for posting this video about med/surg clinicals, Heather! I’m a little nervous about doing these in particular and this helps a lot! =] Good luck finishing this summer!

Good info! Time management is huge!

Hey heather what state are you in where they allow you to push meds?… I guess the first question should be are you in the LVN program or the RN?

@KeziahCNAtoLPNtoADN Hi, we are not allowed to push IV meds as LVN students. We flush IVs and do primary and IVPB meds but we do not push any.

@chrissy4777 it’s level 3 so it’s the third semester. it’s not technically a ‘year’ or anything

@heatherheartsnursing oh ok so it’s not like specifically sophomore summer or anything?

@heatherheartsnursing Thanks Heather! I am in Tx. Did they teach you how to start IVs too?

@KeziahCNAtoLPNtoADN I am in TX, too. Yes we did. I tried to start my first IV last week but it didn’t take. Exciting but scary. I think my LVN program is one of the few that teaches LVN students to start IVs but I’m not 100% sure on that.

What does LVN stand for ? lol i probably should know but i dont, I am in a BSN program but is LVN like LPN?

btw this was a great video. You sound like an excellent student. Good luck to you and im definitely taking thisadvice. I have 3 quarters left

Excellent video!! You are very inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

@fya4you LVN stands for Licensed Vocational Nurse. This title is used in Texas and California while most other states use LPN.

@fya4you thank you i’m glad you enjoyed it and good luck!

@MedAsstVera thank you!

I keep hearing horror stories about med-surg about the reading and how everything you learned is condensed to one! nd also about clinicals…from what you have said in the your vid you sound pretty busy! I take med-surg next semester and I am pretty scared and nervous, any tips for studying?

I am hoping to start LPN school next fall. Watching this vid seems sooo overwhelming! LOL. Do you have a pretty good idea of what all needs to be done in clinicals before you get there? Or is it learn as you go?
