Most people think high blood pressure is “just a number”… but this is what it’s actually doing inside your body 👀

Your arteries are under constant stress — and over time, that damage builds up silently.

If you’re a student nurse, understanding this is key for:
🩺 Cardiovascular conditions
🧠 Stroke risk
📊 Patient education

Save this so it sticks when you’re on placement

🚨 The Glass Test Could Save a Life… Here’s Why

Not all rashes are harmless and one simple check could help you spot something serious.

The glass test is used to identify a non-blanching rash, a key warning sign of meningitis or sepsis.

👉 Press a clear glass firmly against the rash
👉 If the rash does NOT fade, this is a RED FLAG

⚠️ This could indicate bleeding under the skin (petechiae or purpura) and requires URGENT medical attention

💡 Early recognition can save lives especially in children and vulnerable patients

🧠 Student nurse tip: Always think ABCDE + red flags when assessing any rash

❗️IMPORTANT – Educational Only

Pulmonary embolism PE signs and symptoms Student Nurses must know 🫁🚨

If you’ve ever felt unsure recognising PE on placement or in OSCEs… this is for you.

👉 Sudden shortness of breath
👉 Chest pain
👉 Tachycardia
👉 Patient “just doesn’t feel right”

These are the signs you don’t ignore.

Using ABCDE thinking can help you spot deterioration early — and knowing what to do next is what keeps your patient safe.

💡 Think: Suspected PE = ACT FAST

Save this for placement — this is a real life emergency you WILL see 👀

Nursing hack to remember cannula sizes

18/03/2026

Do you know how to do the Glass Test for Meningitis?
A non-blanching rash is one of the most serious warning signs of meningitis and septicaemia.

The glass test can help identify if a rash is potentially dangerous.

🥛 How it works:
Press a clear glass firmly against the rash.

• If the rash fades under pressure → it may be a normal rash.
• If the rash does NOT fade (non-blanching) → this is a medical emergency and urgent medical attention is needed.

⚠️ A non-blanching rash can indicate meningococcal septicaemia, which can progress rapidly.

👩‍⚕️ Student Nurse Tip:
Always assess rashes alongside other meningitis red flags such as fever, photophobia, neck stiffness, headache, vomiting, and altered consciousness.

💾 Save this post so you remember the warning signs.

Student nurses struggle to remember cannula sizes and colours on placement.

So here’s a simple visual memory trick 👇

🌞 Yellow – 24G
☁️ Blue – 22G
🌸 Pink – 20G
🌿 Green – 18G
🪨 Grey – 16G
🌋 Orange – 14G

Think of it like moving through the layers of the earth.

Small at the top → bigger as you go deeper.

Save this for placement so you never get stuck when someone asks:
“What size cannula do you need?” 💉

So here’s a simple breakdown of insulin types you NEED to know 👇

💉 Rapid-acting insulin
💉 Short-acting insulin
💉 Intermediate insulin
💉 Long-acting insulin
💉 Mixed insulin

Understanding onset, peak and duration helps you safely administer insulin and recognise risks like hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia.

📌 Save this post for pharmacology revision.
📚 Perfect for OSCEs, placements, and nursing exams.
