  2. I’m moving and so I applied for a large hospital a couple hours away and got the job. its a meg surg unit but I’ve been told it will be more fast paced than my current med surg unit, since the hospital is larger and takes a bit more higher acuity pat...
  3. For work life balance, is it doable? The 2 12s is what is worrying me. I work 8s and 12s now but am picking up a new schedule.
  4. How much have you changed?

    Nightnerd, you nailed it! Though I have stopped watching medical shows because I just can’t stand how out of touch with reality they are. Developing a dark sense of humor has been my coping mechanism for those crazy and draining nights. Definitely ha...
  5. Is this enough training for experienced nurse?

    I think to help me get accustomed to the unit and the orders etc. does this seem unusual?
  6. Two weeks of floor training for a nurse with two years of med surg experience. This will be for a med surg floor. I’ve been told it’s busier on this floor but the patient ratio is lower than I’m used to which is good I guess. They said it would be on...

  11. Basically I called wrong doc during the night and got an order from them, they weren't supposed to be taking call until 7 am. I am still feeling so bad about it.
  12. What would you do in this situation? (Short)

    That makes sense, thank you so much!
  13. I am thinking hypothetically about this since I have been studying and brushing up on med/surg nursing books. I am a new hospital rn. since it's only a matter of time before I administer blood on the floor to a patient, what do you do if you are tryi...
  14. I feel so bad. I came down with a horrible stomach bug, violently vomiting and had diarrhea. I could not possibly work like that. Is it likely that I will be fired or get a bad review in my 90 day review for this? Is it necessary to go to the doc and...
  15. I also attend an RN-BSN program at a local University. Its becoming a lot for me. I feel like a lot of the newbies at my work are working so much overtime because they want to, but I am not signing up for extra shifts due to school. Would it be in my...
