1. I just can't do anything right.....

   aheartsaverrn replied to Gently.me's topic in General Nursing

   Aww I posted something just like that last week. It really sucks when you meet someone hell-bent on making you doubt everything you know. I promise, you know more than you feel like you do, and that nurse didn't start out knowing all she knows. She ...

2. stepdown tele nurses x2yr now what?

   aheartsaverrn replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

   I work on a tele/ICU step-down floor as well. It's a very intense job. Take PCCN (I can't wait to get to the point where I can take it) and see where you want to go from there. Many of the RNs on my floor have PCCN.

7. Mandated Flu vaccine?

   aheartsaverrn replied to mol42's topic in COVID

   My facility is mandating it for all employees as well. I didn't take issue with it because I take the flu shot every year, regardless. Also, it's no different to me than Hep B shots, Tdap, MMR, etc. My facility's policy is that we either get the sho...

9. Drug error

   aheartsaverrn replied to coneartist's topic in General Nursing

   Wow that sounds stressful. I'm a new RN as well. As far as "how serious" it is really depends on how the patient is. How did everything turn out? Talk with your manager. Do you have a preceptor still or are you past that? What was your documenting l...

10. Help a new RN please

    aheartsaverrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can someone please give me some helpful hints and maybe a peptalk? I'm a new RN and I'm really struggling. I never thought it would be this hard. I thought: I graduate, get my RN, get a job and everything will be great because I'm finally doing what...
