   MrsJt posted a topic in Rehabilitation

   So...I will give a quick background of what has been going on to whomever hasn't been following my previous posts. About a month ago I accepted a position with my employer as an Infusion nurse. Every 4th holidays and weekend. Gave my notice to my man...

3. Opportunity of a Lifetime Update

   MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Infusion

   Unfortunately in my area, there aren't a lot of case management and day turn positions available. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews on home care. Long hrs, driving a lot, going to homes in not such good areas, and not having as many resources avail...

4. Opportunity of a Lifetime Update

   MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Infusion

   I am really trying hard to believe that. It is hard though, bc this would have been great for me and my family. I am just so burnt out from working my floor and nightshift. It has taken a toll on my home life, as well as my marriage. I just dont know...

   MrsJt posted a topic in Infusion

   So just when I thought things were finally looking up. I get a dose of reality. If you read my previous post, I was offered a job in an outpatient infusion center and accepted it. Would have been a great fit for my family life and I was super excited...

7. Opportunity of a Lifetime

   MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Infusion

   Luckily, I am familiar with a lot of central lines, as well as ports. We get a lot of patients that are getting chemo and patients that just cannot keep peripheral sites, due to the condition of their veins. I do have some experience with those, not ...

8. Opportunity of a Lifetime

   MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Infusion

   Thank you for your reply and encouragment! I am ready for a change. Just being off of nightshift I think will make a world of difference for me. I did not end up seeking counseling, but I have been confiding in a nursing buddy (someone I've known for...

9. Opportunity of a Lifetime

   MrsJt posted a topic in Infusion

   Hello everyone! I am a newer nurse, just a little over 1 year of med/surg nursing. I recently interviewed for a position with my hospital as an outpatient Infusion RN. I was invited back to shadow an RN, which I haven't done yet but is coming up soon...

10. Seeking help

    MrsJt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I had posted to the site a month or so ago about not loving my job and just feeling depressed and burnt out. I'll give you a little background first. Been a nurse for a little over 1 year. Been working nightshift (4 8hr shifts) on a ...

11. First code

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your encouraging words amd not making me feel like a horrible person. I am just taking it one day at a time. Had a small emotional break down yesterday before work. I am really struggling with nursing and the stress and demand it puts o...

12. First code

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    I get that we cannot control everything. Death is nothing new to me, unfortunately. I have also been on the other side. I lost my mom and grandmother in 2012 and my step-dad in 2014. I have been involved in codes previously, just not as the Nurse of ...

13. First code

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    That I am not sure of. The patient was not very old, but had a lot of health issues. Patient came to me from ED about 2330 and the PCP is out of the country, so it was a physician covering for him that wasnt familiar with the patient. Regardless, I d...

14. First code

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, to an extent. My manager said I did really well. Which coming from her, is a huge compliment. I do have someone that I talk to, but I keep a lot inside. I don't like to bother others with my burdens. I try to confide im my husband what I am feel...

    Hi all! Let me start by giving you a little background about myself. I am a new nurse, off of orientation for 6 months now on a busy ortho-surgical floor. I had my first code last night, which the patient did not make it. I am having a hard time deal...
