1. I think I'm going to quit during orientation

   withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks man. I'm not going to drag anyone into why I resign. I'm just so scared to talk to my manager about it after she yell at me before and other nurses. I finally build the courage up today to finally call them to let them know. My recruiter t...

2. I think I'm going to quit during orientation

   withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in New Nurse

   I had a talk with my coworkers. They told me to try to stick it out for at least 6 months. I just went to see a chiropractor today because my back was hurting so bad. I basically walk like an old lady hump over 4 days after getting out of the hosp...

3. I think I'm going to quit during orientation

   withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in New Nurse

   How do I go about quitting though? I know a 2 week notice resignation letter is the professional way. However, this is the first time at the hospital. Do I turn it in to the director of nursing or my nurse manager? My first job I turn it in to th...

   withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in New Nurse

   I want to be proactive but this manager is just so intimidating. I remember my third week of orientation when I pull a brand new insulin pen out. It is a pixys system so it was totally new to me about pulling meds out. I didn't know that anothe...

   withorwithoutyou replied to manch's topic in Geriatric

   I was working at a long term care/rehab place while I was an ADN. I was in school at the same time and now I have a BSN. You know the whole time I was at the long-term care facility I wanted to get into the hospital. The reason was that almost eve...

   I will try to stick it out. The thing is my preceptor had a talk with the manager. She wanted me to come in an extra day next week. I already was schedule for 4 days next week. Coming in an extra day will make it 5 days on 12 hour shifts. (She fee...

   Thank guys I will give it another try. I mean I went through BSN program to get a job at the hospital. It would be a waste if I quit so early.

   withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in New Nurse

   I understand that. for example, a patient coming in for acute exacerbation asthma. I check their breath sounds, respiratory pattern. If I leave dorsalis pedis pulse out she ask me why I left it out. I tried my best to do the radial pulse, but if ...

   I have job line up at a new LTAC/SNF with my old ADON. She said there is a spot and she is willing to hire me. However, I probably know if I quit this hospital job than I would probably not get another job in the hospital setting ever again.

10. I think I'm going to quit during orientation

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in New Nurse

    The probationary period ends after orientation right? I have a week left of orientation but my preceptor said she might need to talk to the nurse manager to extend it another 2 weeks. My gut feeling is that I probably wouldn't be happy here. I mea...

    Hey guys, This is actually my second year as a nurse. I was working at a LTC/SNF for a year. The whole time I dreamed and pray of a job at the hospital figuring I need that 1 year of med-surgical experience. I finally got called for a job in a big...

12. NPO after midnight

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Med-Surg

    I don't know Levitas. I read another thread on here where someone mention on here to not mention any procedures so I just want to be safe. You are right Levitas. It is better to be safe than sorry so it is good to ask if I'm not sure of something.

13. i dont know where to go forward

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Med-Surg

    My preceptor was the one that actually caught it rinskin. She is a great preceptor. I had to get a different preceptor for night time because they have a new nurse and my previous preceptor has to start with him. My new preceptor is very good as w...

14. NPO after midnight

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Med-Surg

    I know NPO means nothing by mouth Ms. Rose. I said I was pretty sure I can still give IV meds if the patient is NPO. HOwever, I'm a new hospital working in the hospital setting. I just wanted to make sure that is why I asked my preceptor before gi...

    Hello guys, I have a question to ask. I had a patient that was going to have a procedure done (I'm not going to name the procedure to avoid hippa). Anyways it not a surgery or anything just scanning. The physician gave order for NPO. However, th...
