3. New to ICU

   Nurse Malone posted a topic in New Nurse

   Who started working in an ICU right out of school? How did you feel initially and please tell me that it gets better and/or easier. I'm not a quitter and I've only been in orientation x2 weeks, but it just seems like a lot! Any advice

6. Nurses with pedometers - How far do you walk?

   Nurse Malone replied to ixchel's topic in Stress 101

   Unfortunately I'm just a full-time student, but believed in using my pedometer (Samsung) on my phone. I realized one day while at an appointment with my husband that his fitbit logged WAY MORE steps than my phone did, which caused me to get on the "...

8. Your worst nightmare

   Nurse Malone replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   The scenario occurred more than a decade ago in an overseas setting. It is not typical. Today ECGs are automatically uploaded to the EMR and there is an audit trail for every addition, change or deletion to the medical record so extremely unlikely to...

9. Your worst nightmare

   Nurse Malone replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, I would consider this a nightmare as well & thankful that it all worked out for your friend. This does however raise the question of whether or not one should work with a temp or contracting agency. I'm supposed to be starting with a local g...

    Nurse Malone replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I like this post & responses!!! Well I don't drink or smoke, though I have my days when I find myself gorging on sweets - especially chocolates! I forget to take my Lasix (VIS) & I'm not too quick to sit down & get off my legs when...

11. Clarification please

    Nurse Malone replied to Nurse Malone's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the information, I really appreciate your feedback. My mentor had told me she worked as a RN for a year before she started working on her FNP & continued working as well. She said it helped her better understand her patients a...

    Nurse Malone replied to LunaHawk's topic in General Students

    Yes ma'am, Superwoman, that's our other title, lol! That was just LPN school, now that I'm an RN student I've kept the same things I learned the last time & I'm in bed by 10pm now. I've done well on school thus far & will be starting my clini...

13. Nursing School and Being a parent?

    Nurse Malone replied to LunaHawk's topic in General Students

    It's definitely doable. Stressful yes, but definitely doable and rewarding! Have a great support system/team. My husband deployed quite a few times so I had the help of my Pastor, friends, and emails/phone calls from my husband. He even helped with m...

14. I Hate People (my rant)

    Nurse Malone replied to AlyaMF's topic in Relations

    I am actually an introvert when it comes to people outside my comfort zone, however when it comes to my job, I LOVE NURSING AND PEOPLE, no matter who (or what) they are. 8 can see someone on the street and see they're in need of help, all fears are o...

15. Clarification please

    Nurse Malone replied to Nurse Malone's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know that there was no such thing as a NCLEX-NP; but there is a licensure or certification exam, correct? Is there a certain amount of time I should work as a RN before I start an advanced practice FNP progra...
