1. Does anyone else get really nervous before a shift?

   RNurse2 replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

   WOW!! These are words that have come out of my mouth. My feelings exactly! I'm starting to think I'm getting burnt out I don't know if I have the strength to keep pushing forward in my current position.

2. Burn out?

   RNurse2 posted a topic in Career Support

   I think I may ALREADY be experiencing burn out. I'm getting close to the 7 month mark and I am still not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I was hoping I would at least be able to enjoy days off without spending the days dreading returning to ...

3. Core measures to my core.

   RNurse2 replied to CrystalCMSRN's topic in General Nursing

   I also do not want to own it. My patient's discharges are being delayed by up to an hour sometimes because I am trying to be sure core measures were addressed properly. And being a new nurse, I already struggle with time management. Then I have to di...

4. Advice please!

   Thanks to everyone for your encouraging words. It helps to know that I am somewhat normal.

5. Advice please!

   RNurse2 replied to RNurse2's topic in New Nurse

   I would love to have 30 minutes when I first get there to look at stuff and write down important information, but I often have people calling me to pre-op a patient, to start an 18 gauge in the AC for another patient for their procedure and another p...

6. Advice please!

   RNurse2 replied to RNurse2's topic in New Nurse

   I have 6 patients if I am in total care. Yesterday, I had 6 when I got to work. I discharged 3, and admitted two. I did have someone helping with some of the paperwork, but the tasks that go along with discharges and admits still falls on me. Not to ...

7. Advice please!

   RNurse2 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I have been working at my first job for four a little less than four months now. It's a busy med-surg floor. I had a pretty lengthy preceptorship compared to some I've seen here, but I don't think it was very good. I don't know though because I don't...

8. Nursing is better than what is out THERE. What do you think?

   RNurse2 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   Cute cartoon. And i wish you the best of luck in your career change. I love to hear about people going into nursing. However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but....It is my experience (as short as it may be) that nursing is very similar to...

12. NCLEX Hurst PVT and such

    RNurse2 replied to RNurse2's topic in NCLEX

    First, let me just say my God and Savior got me through all this - school and NCLEX. I only "studied" Hurst material. I have done random practice questions here and there just to test myself out and see the differences, but I stuck with Hurst as my s...

13. NCLEX Hurst PVT and such

    RNurse2 posted a topic in NCLEX

    Hi, all. I signed up for an account just to share my info in hopes of possibly encouraging others the way I was encouraged before my test. I spent hours reading threads about Hurst and PVT and such. First, let me just get this out - I passed!!! Wooh...
