1. Now what??

   nerdynurse22 replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

   I honestly do not understand what I truly did. Yes, I made a few errors (as we are all human) and none of them had any negative effect on the patient and the errors were not repeated! This is having a big emotional, physical, psychological effect on ...

2. Now what??

   nerdynurse22 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I have been having a hard time at work, I made one error and had a few meeting (no harm to patient) and went over the whole situation. I learned my lesson and what to do, not do etc. I was also put on a PIP. My manager came to me and said how they...

   Wow, thank you for your post and insight. It sounds VERY similar. I know my depression is a huge part of it. I used to keep it all bottled up, but I have been 100% honest with my husband, which feels good. I wish I could be more open with others, sad...

5. Confused

   nerdynurse22 replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for your reply and insight. I do feel like I don't fit in, not smart enough, not likeable from the patients or families etc. I do say hi, ask if they need anything or help, ask about them and more. I sometimes feel like I am fake or putting...

   I am going to try to make this short and to the point. I started a new job at my dream hospital over a year ago. The unit is new to me and to be honest, I am not sure it is for me. I have a manager and charge nurse who are in cohouts and has its out...

   nerdynurse22 replied to Firstina's topic in General Students

   32 and wanting to go back to school.....heck yes. You are NEVER to old. In our program we had a few in their 50's. I started the core program when I was 30. I personally feel it is better as you are older, more mature and know what you want so you wi...

   nerdynurse22 posted a topic in Stress 101

   I am curious what others do. I work overnights 3 days a week and flip my schedule when I am not working. When do other fit in their workouts? I shower before I go to bed and so feel that working out before work is not really an option. I get really w...

    nerdynurse22 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed a bad trait about myself and I want to know how I can overcome this. How can I stop being negative, speak negative of my previous jobs, speak negative about coworkers or pass judgement. I feel like I am the type who gossips but I know th...
