Publisher's Synopsis
This book will teach you the steps you need to take in order to master your job as a nurse.
In this Book For New Nurses, we will provide lessons on how to:
- Learn both the medical terminology and the slang: Knowing what the medical lingo means will help you absorb the most information from the anecdotes, and also sets you up for success to communicate in a professional manner in the clinical setting as a student or nurse.
- Review the anecdotes where the IV insertion attempt is unsuccessful: This portion of the book mirrors the experience you would receive in a clinical setting if you were shadowing a nurse.Pay attention to what went wrong (explained after each anecdote) so that you know where to focus your attention when we discuss intravenous insertion in a more in-depth manner thereafter.
- Learn about the peripheral IV initiation, written as if I'm having a conversation with you face-to-face
- Revisit the anecdotes and correct the problems that led to an unsuccessful IV initiation: Troubleshooting along and thinking through how to manage certain scenarios differently to achieve a positive outcome will ingrain itself into your subconscious better than simply reading a textbook version of IV insertion, and will allow you to draw back on these hypothetical situations when you are faced with similar obstacles in the real world clinical setting.
- Visualize your own success and apply it to the real world: When an endless supply of real people on whom to practice IV skills is not available, how do you start to build your skills? Reading this book with its conversational formatting will help you start to visualize patient care scenarios.
