    Let's see here I'm new too but in about 5 months I've picked up a few things 1. Do things as you go for example if you just took vitals put them in or you just gave a prn med put it in right away 2. Prioritize on a piece of paper! If I'm doing night...
  4. Broken spirit....

    By the way I always try to remember that most doctors were the nerds who had no friends in school and now that they've reached "doctor status" after so many years they feel like they can get their revenge.
  5. Broken spirit....

    I'm so glad it worked out for you!!! I'm a new nurse too and doctors like this need a swift kick of the rear!! I always try to think what goes around comes around. As nurses I think this brings up the important issue that we need to make sure that a...

  11. I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. If that's what the staff is doing while YOU'RE there then imagine what they are doing when your not? Yes your mom might be with it but she sounds like someone who wouldn't want to worry you by telling you if something...
