Hmm, I think I may have developed my PICOT question after reading this thread. My two cents on this subject is this. Your preceptor needs more training. I know that it is hard, but keep your head up, you will never be more than an associate of you...
Deb-RN has a point, if you can get back in at the bakery then go for it and switch to Perdiem at the hospital. You'l be payed more money on the nursing side and have the better healthcare from the bakery job. The one thing I would not do is leave n...
I am sorry to tell you but I think what you have described is becoming "normal" for nursing. I see this in the L&D unit of my hospital and in the hospital where I had clinicals. The nurses behaved as if having students on the unit was a burden....
As Dixielee stated Google is your friend. CDC.gov is a wonderful resource as well. Correct spelling is a must. If you don't take the time to spell correctly, why should anyone take the time to read what you write. An observation meant to help you...

Do not worry to much, just have a plan in case you need help. The style guide was just "ok". I always had something not quite perfect on my formatting, usually in the reference page. I truly do reccomend the PERRLA program. It will create a datab...
Not sure what the St Joe's fast track is but I am 6wks and 4 days from finishing the RN-BSN online program. If you don't have statistics yet, get a tutor, they are worth the money. PERRLA is an add-in program for Word that will make writing your pa...
6 weeks 4 days from finishing. I recommend finding a local tutor for statistics. I still can't believe I passed it, I don't understand any of what I did in that class. A tutor is well worth the money. Look in to a program called PERRLA you can fi...
Good luck going back to her. Sounds like you did everything appropriately. I would suggest upon returning to work, if you have her again consult with the family to see what if any medication she takes for her anxiety. I took over a postpartum pati...
