  2. I try, try, try NOT to judge. If those thoughts cross my mind. I put the judgements away in a little "box in my brain" and lock it up. I proceed into Nurse mode and do my job regardless. I took a pledge to care for the sick and wounded. I don't remem...

  6. New RN, 3 weeks into orientation, total screw up.

    Your REAL learning will come once your wings have been clipped and your out there flying on your own. You will find your groove. I didn't read everyone else's post. But it sounds like you are second guessing yourself on the things we all did back whe...
  7. Prinsessa, I agree with this as well. Job hunting these days is SO VERY impersonal!! This has been another oet peeve of mine while looking for a job.

  13. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

    I appreciate my aides more than I probably sounded like I did in my last post. I am all about team work "You scratch my back and I will scratch yours" sort of thing. I just happened to take the position right after a very lazy, who cares attitude typ...
  14. How would deal with these type of CNAs?

    I had a crew of CNA's who made my life a living hell as 3-11 RN shift supervisor. When I would pull them aside and go over P&P with them I would get comments such as "I don't know you, you haven't worked herelong enough. So I won't listen to anyt...
  15. That nagging "Did I miss something?" feeling

    I too know "that nagging feeling". Going over things in your head I think is only a natural response. As long as you know your did your best for your patient by following MD orders and facility prtocols (along with your own intuitive nature as a nurs...
