GOODNESS GRIEF,:eek: i HAD THE WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE................I HAD 3 ICU PATIENTS, ONE OF WHICH CODED AND LIVED(NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE TONITE)................ONE OVERDOSE, A PSYCH, 2 PATIENTS OF WHICH HEMOGLOBINS WERE BELOW 5, I FELT LIKE THE NIGHT WOULD NEVER END, I thought about walking out, I dreamed how it would be to work in hospice, I thought about being a dog catcher or perhaps a housewife.................then the night ended I survived and I learned how to operate an art line. I learned the maximum dose of a nitro drip and I learned that Im strong and I was made to work in the ED..........I learned tonight that although Ive only been on the job for 6 months, I got what it takes............ I may not be the fastest at yet, but hell I didnt kill anyone and noone died.................Hang in there new grads, I AM............ AND IF I CAN DO IT TRUST ME, YOU CAN TOO..........................:clown:

Congrats and thank you for the reminder to all nurses that being new and not being the fastest does not mean you are not a strong RN! :D

Specializes in Labor and Delivery, Med/Surg-tele.

Wow, wow, wow! After the shift ended, you must have felt a huge sense of accomplishment!

I will be graduating in May, and have applied for 2 ED positions. Have heard back from one at a children's hospital, and anticipate that I will hear back from the second (I work on a med-surg floor at this same hospital as an LPN)......Any words of encouragement before the interviews???
