  2. New Nurse Mistakes

    Expecting others to do their jobs. Still gets me everytime. From expecting pharmacy to have delivered a scheduled med that is NOT new, expecting social work/case management to have everything done for a discharge (Home O2, transportation, Dialysis, t...

  13. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    I'm not sure what every nursing school teaches, but mine most certainly did not sugar coat a thing. The difference, I think (as I'm not yet working), will be the feelings experienced when the brutality of reality hits... Make or break / sink or swim...
  14. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    WELL PUT.
  15. Don't People Have Bills To Pay?

    @ceccia ... We're all in this together, and I can only imagine that as a seasoned nurse @Ruby Vee is thinking about all the new grads that have come into her unit and up and quit because they couldn't handle it... It just isn't a good look.
