What I learned about Hospital Clinicals (Part II)

Pay Attention to the Nurses that enjoy the help

There are going to be some nurses that for one reason or another will have no problem having a paramedic student start every single IV for them and push any medications that they need to.

These nurses are the best, but don't mess things up.

Keep your ears open to how you can help these nurses more. Changing sheets, taking vitals, whatever. That brings us to the next point...

Make sure the nurses that don't give you opportunities see how much (more) you are helping the nurses that are

Don't be obvious, blunt, verbal, or a jerk about it. But if the stick-in-the-mud nurses see how much easier you can make their job, they might open up more.
