2. Sloppiness results in write-up

   gam3rchic replied to longjourneydream's topic in Emergency

3. Sloppiness results in write-up

   gam3rchic replied to longjourneydream's topic in Emergency

5. They come out of the woodwork

   gam3rchic replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

   Oh, how I would love it if managers could do our job, for just ONE 8 hour shift! I would LOVE to watch that! To the OP, sorry about your incident, it is so unnerving and offensive to be stolen from. And for them to steal from the very people who ar...

   gam3rchic replied to laurainri's topic in Emergency

   In nursing, but especially with codes, it's easy to fall into the "what could I have done more?" trap....don't do that to yourself b/c at the time you did everything you knew to do, and that's all you could've done. You did your best, now what will ...

    gam3rchic replied to adason07's topic in Ohio

    I've heard Kaplan and Saunders are both good choices, but I wouldn't know from personal experience as I didn't use either; this is what other students told me they liked. Good luck on NCLEX! Relax, you'll do fine!

    gam3rchic replied to gam3rchic's topic in Emergency

    Thanks guys, I'm gonna invest in some new nursing reading material to help me learn. I can't wait to start my orientation and get out on the floor! It just seems so exciting to never know what you are gonna get as patients.
