Outdated nursing practices…..🖐 ❌ Gluteal injections? Not recommended anymore due to nerve injury risks ✅ Instead, use the ventrogluteal site for IM injections. This is safer and away from major nerves ❌ Aspirating IM injections? Originally done to check if you hit a blood vessel…BUT the risk is super low and aspirating just adds extra discomfort ✅ Skip aspiration, modern guidelines say it's unnecessary for most sites (like deltoid or vastus lateralis) ❌ Trendelenburg for shock? Nope, it can cause more harm than good ✅ Use supine positioning with legs elevated (modified Trendelenburg) or follow updated protocols for fluid resuscitation ❌ Nurses who eat their young? Outdated! Practice kindness & patience ✅ Support and mentor newer nurses, it builds better teams and safer care environments #Clinicalnurse #hospital #nurselife #scrublife #nursesofinstagram #nursehumor #nursesofig #nurseproblems #rnlife #nursingstudent #newgradnurse #futureRN

1. I got denied from nursing school the first time. Getting denied pushed me to become a CNA and gain real healthcare experience. This made me a stronger nurse in the end and even more prepared for nursing school. 2. I did not get a 4.0 GPA in nursing school and guess what? No one cares now! The workplace doesn't really ask you about your GPA! 3. I’m not ashamed to admit I believe that if you’re mean to new nurses, you don’t care about the future of healthcare or your patients. One day, they might be the ones taking care of you or your family….so lift them up. So why not foster them and teach them, rather than whispering behind their backs or saying, “They’re not ready” or “They’re not made to be a nurse”? 4. I’m not ashamed to admit burnout is real. Caring for others can take a toll on you– mentally, physically, and emotionally. Focus on refilling your cup because when you care for yourself, you’re able to show up the best way you can for others! 5. I’m not ashamed to admit I still look things up. Even as an RN. Because safe care > pretending to know everything. You are never done learning! #nurses #nurseinthemaking #nursingstudent #studentnurse #BSN #RN #newnurses #graduation

💉 How to Remove an IV IV’s are commonly placed for patients in the hospital. They allow us to provide medications and fluids in a fast acting way! Placing and removing IVs often cause patients some anxiety. Be sure to educate them! The worst part of IV removal is removing the tape! :) IV removal is usually part of a standing order set or discharge order set. Just make sure you have appropriate orders according to your facility policy! What are some reasons we would remove an IV?
