   8 hr shift! Definitely need to see the pee on a 12 :)

2. Voiding!

   ohsosarah20 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm curious on others thoughts on this topic. Voiding is obviously important to keep track of, but I don't typically worry at night if my patient hasn't voided but my co workers do. My thoughts are this, if they haven't had any bladder issues, Foley'...

3. TLSO info!

   ohsosarah20 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm new to acute care and learning so much. I thought I had TLSO nursing care down until yesterday! The x ray tech is calling me to verify the pt was already sat upright by the MD, I didn't know you had to be sat upright before the upright x rays. Ca...

4. MANE BSN program feeling duped

   ohsosarah20 replied to Garagegeek21's topic in School Programs

   That's really awesome to hear! Just work hard and make sure you understand all the aspects of the program while you are in it. The nursing portion wasn't the main issues, at least for me, it was a lot of the side stuff like finances, program requirem...

5. MANE BSN program feeling duped

   ohsosarah20 replied to Garagegeek21's topic in School Programs

   YES!!!!!!! I'm feeling terrible about my choice. I didn't so much like the first half of the MANE program (it was disorganized and I felt it could have been better, but I did pass NCLEX on the first try so that's a plus...!). I'm annoyed that it was ...

6. Things LTC Nurses wish EMTs and Paramedics would understand.

   ohsosarah20 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

   This is too true. I work in TCU and unfortunately we are not equipped to deal with certain scenarios that a hospital is equipped to deal with. I get looks from the EMTs all the time because I'm sending someone in that looks "fine". In my professional...

7. Day shift or night shift - Which do you prefer? Why?

   ohsosarah20 replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

   I actually really like night shift, but I don't like working nights because it screws up my body and I become an isolated cranky human. Therefore, I prefer days!

   ohsosarah20 replied to ohsosarah20's topic in General Nursing

   I do have to agree...as much as I feel like I know, I definitely feel as if my program was very lax in some areas and not in others. I've heard from a few nurses during clinicals that it is much different from when they went to nursing school. I th...

   ohsosarah20 replied to ohsosarah20's topic in General Nursing

   Well the good news is I have a new job lined up and I'll be working along side other nurses. It wasn't just the experience I was lacking...but the support as well. I definitely agree that home health is not the place for a new grad! SCARY STUFF! B...

10. Struggling New Grad...

    ohsosarah20 replied to ohsosarah20's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely applying...I actually told them I wasn't comfortable yet and wanted more training days. I'm more feeling like I don't have the support I need from the company and the patients family I care for. Hoping for a new job soon...this is rough :/

11. Struggling New Grad...

    ohsosarah20 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated just over a month ago and I passed NCLEX on June 2. I have a job in home health and it's not my thing. I'm hoping to get a new job here very soon. I'm terrified of caring for patients on my own! What got every one else through being a ...
