   lindy777 replied to maelee's topic in General Nursing

   Depends on which one of the voices speaks the loudest. No really, aren't we all different at different times.

2. How Long is your New Grad Orientation at your facility?

   lindy777 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   The paperwork said 90 days. The reality was 65. Part of that was paperwork and how to use the computer system.

3. Same song, different verse

   lindy777 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I am a new nurse. I am out of orientation. It lacked A LOT in quality and continunity. There is still so much that I didn't cover and that no one seems to realize I don't know. I have told them I don't know some of this stuff, but they just tell me t...

4. At least we are all in the same boat

   lindy777 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I'm a new nurse. I am overwhelmed. I feel sick every day when I report in. The day is one long controlled panic. I pray on the way to work that God will guide my hands and protect my patients. I ask a ton of questions and take the time I need to do i...

   lindy777 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in New Nurse

   Is that "Training Wheels for Nurses" in print anywhere, or does it just come from your hospital? I would love to take a look at it.

   lindy777 replied to tanita's topic in North Carolina

   Glad to hear that you are coming to Winston Salem. I will be working at the other Winston Salem hospital, but I did some clinicals at "your" hospital. The hospital is modern, up to date and an all round good place to work. There are several cities a...

7. To the new grad ADN nurses...

   lindy777 replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in New Nurse

   I graduated May 10th. I took a few days off to CHILL. A few of us are working together on Suzanne's Plan. I only want to take the NCLEX once and I have a job waiting when I pass. Several instructors have suggested that we get used to our new jobs and...

8. ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor

   lindy777 replied to pipersjo's topic in New Nurse

   I scored 76.7 on the ATI Comprehensive. Like you, I would feel better if I heard from someone who did well on the ATI Comps and passed the NCLEX first try. How do they know that you will go on to pass, or is it just advertising.

9. Anybody else with Plantar fibromas?

   lindy777 replied to lindy777's topic in Stress 101

   Hi, Joe2, thanks for your reply. I am following pretty much the same routine as you and it is helping. I am a little concerned about a career path, so that I can keep the pain under control. I am leaning against surgery, I have heard too many stories...

    lindy777 replied to AllyRN82's topic in General Students

    Our school has a regular graduation for everyone, but we nurses also have a pinning ceremony that we have to set up and pay for ourselves. A lot of the nurses don't attend graduation, but everyone I know is really excited about pinning. We have the c...

13. Toughest mammogram ever

    lindy777 posted a topic in Stress 101

    When does grief settle down? How long before it doesn't just pop up unannounced, when I am least expecting it? I went for my yearly mammogram today. I never look forward to going, but this year was really tough. My mom had breast cancer five years ag...

    lindy777 replied to Nili927's topic in General Students

    Hi, Last week was my time to feel this way. Several people at this site took the time to drop me a line & tell me to hang on, things will get better. So I am telling you, hang on, things will get better. I spend half of my time feeling as if I do...

    lindy777 replied to lindy777's topic in General Students

    Thanks guys. We were introduced to report sheets just last week and I haven't gotten the hang of it yet, but I will this week for sure. I knew I could count on someone out there to point me in the right direction. Yes, I am in an ADN program, so if ...
