  1. Does anyone enjoy nursing?

    When I started working on my nursing unit, I was the youngest nurse RN, and many young nurses came and went. I believe that it is easier to train younger new nurses then the older new nurses, from what I've seen on the unit. I believe that new nurs...
  2. Does anyone enjoy nursing?

    Nursing has it's good days, bad days, crazy what was I thinking days? The important to remember is that it is a very demanding work. If you realize that, I think you should do fine, especially if you love what you are doing. Some people are not fr...
  3. When asked "what meds are you giving me?"

    I would look up meds before going into the room, see if VS need to be taken, look up any unfamiliar medication. Just briefly, and side effects, drug interactions. Once in the patients room with the MAR, i'll tell them what I am going to be adminis...
  4. uggh i soo want to give up right now!

    It is better to ask questions. Then, just working, without knowing rationales. Newcomers will be overwhelmed, it is expected. Don't be intimidated by people who may look down upon your curiosity for knowing more. It is great, when you are working ...
  5. WOW!!! This is very scary. I believe that you should look for another job. Easier said, than done, in this tight economy. Talk to your NM, supervisor, management and explain that you do not feel ready to train others, yet. Perhaps, your NM sees po...
  6. Some patients do not know appreciation. You did all to care for your patient. By the looks of it, this person and his family are all difficult. You did your best to educate them, but they wwere unwilling to learn. I feel your pain. Some people...
  7. CNA went missing....

    This is so true!!! I work with the good, the bad, and the worst CNAs. I do know that there are some lazy CNAs, and some lazy RNs. But it will be nice if sometimes you wouldn't have to beg, someone to do their job. Sometime the floor may be chaoti...
  8. Failed NCLEX three times

    Did you do the KAPLAN REVIEW? SAUNDERS great for maternity and peds. KAPLAN IS GREAT!!! Don't give up!!!
  9. I really need some advice...long......

    Just take this as a lesson learned. If you were to do this while you're working as a nurse...PATIENT ABANDONMENT would be the charge. Everyday in nursing is not all happiness and laughter. There are days you want everyone to just stop calling your...
  10. Why ADN is Better Than BSN for CRNA.. For Some

    My education is somewhat similar to his. I graduated from an ADN program, took 3 years, with pre-reqs and clinicals. After graduating from my community college, I worked for a couple of months, and applied to a private school to earn my BSN. Gues...
  11. Can another nurse chart on behalf of you?

    But what if tomorrow RN Jones totally denies ever making that phone call. Do you how many nurses deny knowing a pt. condition, during end of shift report. The next day when getting report, they'll say, "you didn't tell me". I have this RN on my fl...
  12. Young Nursing Students

    The way I see things, very cliche "Age ain't nothing but a number", is so...true! Being an older nursing student doesn't make a person any smarter or dumber from another. It is the will to achieve your goals, should not be overlooked. I have had cl...
  13. It's amazing that you want to keep up with your clinical nursing skills. Perharps, you can pick up some extra hours at your local hospital, or LTC setting. As long as you do what you love to do. You should be fine!!! Follow your heart!!!
  14. This is the reason, I ask them to step out of the room. Provide patient privacy. However, there are some family members that you can't easily avoid, or they are known to the staff, as "troublemakers". Sometimes I pleasantly welcome them to partici...
  15. What about stool specimen not collected on patients with constant diarrhea? Or, reminding the patient that stool sample is needed, just give them a hat!!!
