Hey all!
I stumbled across this site the other night at work while it was freakishly quiet in the ER around 1am... there seem to be some fabulous people, great stories, and wonderful advice floating around this forum!
My name is DeAnna, and I graduated with my BSN in May. I have been working in a level II trauma center ER since the beginning of June, and passed my NCLEX-RN in July. I just came off orientation a couple weeks ago, and although I'm still a nervous wreck sometimes, I feel better and better each time I go into work
I hope to get to know everyone on the board a little better and to continue reading about people's experiences in the world of nursing. Thanks for reading!
Would you like to comment?
Different people come in with all sorts of crazy things every day, but I have to say the skills I use most (and need most practice with!) are IV placement, administering IV and IM medications, inserting NG tubes, interpreting monitors/EKGs, and calming people down who don't want to be waiting so long!
