Hi everyone, I am a third semester (about to be fourth and final semester) nursing student. My school does not teach IV insertion, IV/central line care, foley insertion, documenting, charting, medication administration, spiking IV bags, mock codes, intubation care, cardiovascular/respiratory assessments. I feel like these are skills every new-grad RN should have a BASIC knowledge of? But my school doesn't like to teach us skills, only textbook lmao. So does anyone know if there are any courses I can take as a nursing student to practice or learn these skills?
Thank you!! Also, any tips from current RN's? My nursing education is honestly lacking in skills and I feel 10000% unprepared for my career, idk if this is normal but nursing schools need to actually teach skills and prepare graduates better! Any tips are appreciated ::))
