   Yesterday was a long day at work (LTC). Was suppose to have a hospice admit in the morning alng with everything else I had. I did as much paper work as I could do and was still behind the whole day. I kept my head up and struggled on to get things do...

5. Pretty sure my clinical instructor HATES me.

   bbgirlmil replied to kmartin906's topic in General Students

   I have been a nurse for almost 2 years. I remember my instructor doing the same thing to me. Here's how I looked at it: Is it a pain in the butt and a lot of stress? YES! But.....I felt that if she didn't think I was a great nurse, she wouldn't take ...

6. One year later as a nurse, what have I learned?

   bbgirlmil replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with most of this. I am coming up on 2 years. I am one that enjoys bedside nursing but rarely have time for it (LTC). Sometimes what gets me is when my aides try to get on my ass about call lights. REALLy? I will answer as many as I can, I do...

7. Practicing NG Tube on each other?

   bbgirlmil replied to pjharrelson's topic in General Students

   We used dummies for this. No practicing of shots on each other either r|t risk of hepatitis. You will do just fine!

8. I don't get it

   bbgirlmil replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

12. A New Nursing Grad Witnesses a Death

    bbgirlmil replied to Andrea K. Penney's topic in Spirituality

    Beautifully put! I have only been a nurse for almost 2 years and I work in long term care. I always tell family that their loved one CAN hear them. I have a hard time when a resident of mine passes. I can't count on my hands anymore how many people I...

    PCU is the patient care unit. Sorry I know it's different every where you go.

    I live in a small town where there is only 2 avenues for LPN, geriatrics ( which is where I work), or CPU at the small town hospital. I am. On thinking about moving to Virginia so I can maybe have more of a choice. My concern is that because I have...
