Hello, I think you are not getting answers because this is the category for "special education".  In the U.S. this term usually refers to school children who have special educational needs.  \n\nSince you are talking about Nursing School you would get better answers if you post this question in the Higher Education or Business/Careers categories.  If you find a nursing school - the advisors there will assist you.

Go visit any hospital's nursing station...and ASK.  The RN's will be happy to tell you. \nSure you'll need to learn how to draw blood and a lot of other euuuuuuie stuff.  But, unfortunately most RNs don't get to do enough of the 'hands-on' stuff, but are (as they'll voluntarily tell you) becoming 'pencil-pushers'; it's a known fact in the medical field that the Nurse's Assistant or the LPNs will have more contact with the patient.  But, only an RN can 'manage' a nurse's station.

Yes I would allow it.  I am a student nurse, we all have to learn somewhere, we are professionals as well, it's not like he's just asking you to allow some random layman be there to watch.  Support the learning experience unless it makes you really really uncomfortable.

I think about all the other patients that have lived because of the care I've given them.  I try to save those in my care with all the newest equipment and knowledge I have, and know that even doing my best will not work all the time.  In the end, I get down on my knees and pray for strength to work the next day to a profession that clearly requires a heart full of compassion for the sick and which some times is not fully appreciated by others. So, from a NURSE....Thank you.

what does this have to do with special education?

I have never heard that and I worked in the hospital. Nurses tell doctor's what to do...not likely

hello gemma it could be any one of the answers you were given and they all vary so you would be better off going to see you practice nurse at you local gp surgery and she will give you her professional opinion

I am an R. N., but not familiar with this term, but I see no one has answered you after several hours.  So, I was thinking, if you are working in  hospital, call the nursing unit where the pt. is and ask the nurses, or if you are in an out pt. facility, call the dr's office, and ask his nurse there.  Good Luck

go online to the board of consumer affairs--the nursing boards are contained within that department of the state government. they will be able to assist you with that problem.

I'm not a nurse, or a medical professional of any kind for that matter but I have a suggestion.  I know that in the places where I have worked we always had someone in charge safety and/or safety inspections.  If you could get your hands on that persons check list (i.e. things they are supposed to check or look for) I would think that would help you.  If I missed the point entirely just ignore this.
