Ok, so I have been working on a surgical inpatient unit for 6 months now (my first job) and all I know for sure is I don't want to stay here. Great hospital, great unit, great coworkers, poor...

You will pick it up faster than you think, everything you are feeling is normal! I know this first hand because I felt exactly like you do a few months ago myself. I started my first nursing job in...

So I work on a surgical floor (our med & surg is separate) and I'm feeling a bit irritated. I feel that communication basically sucks and information is being lost all the time. A perfect example of...

Most of the time 2. We are all electronic so the worst night EVER was when I got 4 new patients, in a 2 hour period, 3 were direct admits, AND the computers went down! Left work 4 hours late--

Here is a little background information on myself so you can see where I was coming from. I got my LPN license January of 2011 and went straight back for my RN and graduated in December. I didn't...
