1. Share Your "Brain" Sheet

   kimberjos replied to nurseJ88's topic in Cardiac

   Here's my nurse brain. I know...it's small, but I don't like clutter. All the little letters in the lower right hand corner stand for things I need to remember to complete, like F = flowsheet, M=meds, X= I/O's, etc. . When I've comleted those things ...

   Maybe that job just wasn't for you; and this was a blessing in disguise. Maybe you could find another unit in another hospital that will train you; or maybe you could just find another non-hosptial job altogether. I wish you the best of luck in what...

   Thanks for your replys Lorelai and Weebaby. I guess the night shifts maybe just aren't for me; I just moved to Hawaii, and was really looking forward to enjoying my time outside during the day; but on nights, I only want to sleep all day or rest all ...

   I'm a new grad...just finished my classroom orientation. I've worked three 13-14 hour nightshifts this week on my med/surg floor; and it's been torture. I truly loved all that I learned in nursing school, and even my clinicals. I like the patient car...
