   I seem to post about all the negative things that happen to me at work. I helps to get feedback and support from my fellow nurses all over the place so....here's my current issue. 1. Pt fell and broke her hip (see previous post first time fall) ok......

5. First Time Fall

   Nursecard, Tell me about it... the smallest thing and they jump all over you. I am currently looking for a new position elsewhere. Surely everywhere isn't like this!

6. First Time Fall

   Nola504 replied to Nola504's topic in Safety

   My Monday meeting has come and gone. It went surprisingly well. The risk manager was a fellow RN and I think that helped that she was able to understand my position and what it was like to work on the floor. She made it known upfront that the meeting...

   JKL33 I took no offense to anything you said. I am taking everything you said as a means for preparing myself for Monday's meeting. I thank you for reminding me that I try my best to do what is right and I need to remember that I have to stand up for...

    Nola504 posted a topic in Safety

    I've been a nurse for 3 years. I've never had a patient fall before. At shift change I got a quick update from the day shift nurse, he needed to go drop his labs off at the front, I told him to go. I would go check on the patient. I'd see him in a mi...

11. Regret becoming a nurse....

    Nola504 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs love bug! You sound a lot like me! I absolutely abhor nursing. I've changed specialties, hospitals...the whole nine. I get cards from patients and family members and my managers saying how the patients love me. But I couldn't care less. I can't...

12. NEW TO ICU

    Nola504 posted a topic in Critical

    Hi, I have been working in ICU for 7 weeks. My first 5 weeks was spent at facility being "trained" by a preceptor on ICU nursing. I say "trained" because most of the patients were floor status and we got them as overflow patients. 5 weeks later I was...
