  5. Time saving tips? Please?

  10. Any advice on how to get started in this field? I live in a fairly rural area and there aren't any agencies that specifically deal with developmental disabilities, so I'm not really sure how to get going.
  11. So I have been a med/surg RN for about a year now, and during this time I have been living with my grandparents because my daughter is not yet in school and there is no child care service on the planet that can cover the crazy hours I need (from 0445...
  12. Thanks that makes me feel better! The med never actually made it to the patient, it got caught, and I made sure to keep my composure and thank the nurse that caught it before coming home and freaking out. Also, since then I've had a pharmacist tell m...
  13. Well tonight I did something REALLY dumb. I have been working night shifts now and have never really adjusted. I still just feel like I'm at work in the middle of the night when I SHOULD be sleeping! Anyway last night I was particularly exhausted (fo...
  14. I typed my brain sheet up on word, so I can just print a couple out on the day of my shift. I divided sheet into 5 patients, I left an open square big enough to place a patient sticker, and I have areas to put patient's Diagnosis, diet, ambulation (a...
  15. Hi there! I'm a new grad, a few months out, currently working on a med/surg floor, and I'm trying to decide on a specialty to go into. It seems like there are a lot of job listings for case management nurses and I like the idea of creating continuity...
