 yes this is like my ticket to make sure that i'm part of this procedure doing like that's for your butt just remember like all this chaos is going on hi guys so i wanted to do a little story time for you guys of a story that happened to me when i was in nursing school because i feel like looking back on the story it's like the perfect amount of happy sad terrifying embarrassing like all of the above as far as being a nursing student in nursing school and i wanted to just like i don't know tell you this guy you guys the story so you could relate and laugh at me if you want because i think it's kind of like just like typical nursing school story for you all so i was in my third semester of nursing school and i was doing my obi rotation and i was in my first day of clinicals and i was in antipartum which is like the pregnant ladies who have not given birth yet but they may be having some complications with themselves or the babies and they need the extra monitoring during pregnancy and i honestly like wasn't super excited about this rotation because i was like you know what the babies aren't even born yet i don't get to see the delivery or like see the babies after they're born so i like wasn't super excited about this particular rotation and my nurse that day she was like an older more experienced nurse and she was kind of cranky but it was fine and we had this patient who had premature ruptured of her membranes and i believe she was only like 20 through 24 weeks so right around that like viability time and so that's why this patient was there for this extra monitoring well they were doing the monitoring what is it called non-stress test scan and the baby started to have i think it's bear with me if you're obi i am not an obi nurse whatsoever but the baby started to have variable decels which are like when the heart rate starts to dip really low and then kind of comes back up and it usually means that there's like a compression of the cord or lack of oxygen something like that again i'm not obi nurse so don't take this like take this with face value and so this patient or the baby started to have these decels and so they called in another nurse to do a cervical check and it turned out that the baby's cord or legs or something like the baby was starting to come out of the cervix and like that's an emergency and so we had to wheel this patient back to the or emergency for a c-section and as a student i'm just like oh my god like i am in on this and i remember so we're wheeling this patient back and they're calling the or team in like from the time that they discovered this to the time the patient like was getting the c-section like only 10 minutes went by it was just crazy crazy fast and as a student like obviously it was very sad and scary for the mom totally like not denying that as a student was really like exciting like adrenaline wise like oh my gosh i gotta be a part of this so i remember i was like well can i go into the or and then my nurse was like yeah sure and so outside the or there's all these like scrubs like surgical scrubs and the hats and the booties for your shoes and i'm trying to be quick and put it on and i don't know like if you guys think of this or are like this but as a nursing student i always felt so slow at putting gloves and gowns and masks and stuff like the bedside nurse would be put it on really quick and i would be like still trying to put it on like get in the room to be um next to him or her i just felt like i was really slow at it and like always in my head big mentally i was like oh my gosh i'm so slow i need to hurry up so like to have to put on all this or gear and stuff to go into the or i was like scrambling trying to put it on really quick and the bedside nurse that my nurse that i was following had to like follow this patient to give the doctor like the rundown of kind of what went on so she kind of had to leave me so i'm like trying to put on all this stuff and i remember the patient had glasses on and the nurse handed them to me and said can you hold on to these because she couldn't have them on during the surgery like the c-section or something like that and i remember thinking like yes this is like my ticket to make sure that i'm part of this procedure because if i have these glasses i have to go back to where i like you know i have to give them to the patient so it was like my golden ticket or whatever i felt like i was like okay so i had these glasses so i'm putting on all this gear and i put one of the little foot booties you know those little foot booties i'm like trying to put it on my head because i'm just like scrambling trying to put the stuff on and like i'm like why is this thing not fitting like it's only going like right here i'm trying to like get my hair in and another nurse is like what are you doing like that's for your foot and so like oh okay so i like put them on and she's like trying to help me and i'm like ah so we go into the or and i remember being in the or and it's chaotic and there's a lot of people in there and the mom didn't have any family members with her because there's no one with her when this emergency happened and i remember the mom was just she was crying she was scared and as like a nursing student i don't have a role in the or like everyone else had a role you know they're doing the surgery they're taking the vitals they're doing anesthesia they're monitoring this writing on this they're trying whatever they had a role i didn't have a role other than observing and i was like so wanted to go over to the mom and like tell her you know it's going to be okay they're going to take care of you like i know this is scary like just be there for her but i like i held back because i didn't want to go be in the way like i didn't want to go up and be right next to her because there's so many people around her i just remember like all this chaos is going on and like focusing in on the mom and being like i wish i could go over there and and say something to her and in hindsight um i mean not that i like regret or not regret i wish i would have gone because i actually asked my nursing instructor afterwards i'm like would it have been okay like i didn't want to intervene and like be i don't know like in the way as a student because you know you like don't want to be in the way and she said yeah that probably would have been okay but anyways i didn't know at the time so i remember like just being honed in on the mom and she was really upset and so it's really sad but there's the c-section went well the baby's obviously really premature i don't really know the outcome of what happened afterwards because after that shift i i left like i know the baby survived the c-section and all that but i don't know what happened like once the baby got to the nikyu what their prognosis is this was years ago so who who knows at this point um but that is my story i guess it doesn't really have like a good ending um but that's it so i thought i would share that because it's kind of like a combination of being funny kind of sad and like a typical nursing student like you're rushing you're getting you're like don't want to hold anyone back but you don't want to like but you don't want to miss out on anything and so i don't know if you guys have any stories that you want to share when you're in nursing school but that was one of my nursing school stories if you guys if you guys like these types of videos let me know and i will do more story times the hard thing about story times is i have to make sure that the videos like these stories don't violate any patient's privacy or information so this happened years ago and yeah obviously you can't identify who the patient was based off the story but that's a hard part about stories is like i'd love to tell you guys some like recent stories of things that happened to me but i don't want to like violate anyone's privacy or rights so i hope you guys enjoyed it let me know if you did and give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and i'll see you next time
