   sdupnik replied to sdupnik's topic in Cardiac

   Thank you so much for all the suggestions. I'm thinking maybe the biggest problem I'm running into right now is being able to stay on task in the am and have all 8-10 am meds passed by 0930 (hopefully). I think if I can do this and stay organized t...

   sdupnik posted a topic in Cardiac

   So I just started back in the hospital on telemetry after taking a 2 yr hiatus to do home health. I am happy to be back in the hospital but I am really having trouble managing my time and staying organized. I work day shift and the typical nurse pa...

   sdupnik replied to sdupnik's topic in Disabilities

   To merlee: I've had ADD since I was about 10 or so. I'm 27 now. I thought that by being more organized at work when I was working in the hospital environment, it would reduce a little of the stress, but it really didn't. As I stated in another rep...

   Hi everyone, I'm writing this because I'm hoping one of you can give me some insight into a good new field of nursing besides the hospitals. I have ADD and take Adderall. Lately I have had some issues where I can't chart on time, being late with ce...

8. Master Classic II or Classic II SE

   sdupnik posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   So I am in the market to get a new stethoscope since I lost my old one at the hospital I was doing clinicals at. My question is, which one is better to get: the Master Classic II or the Classic II SE? I used to have the Classic II SE (that's the on...
