   Thanks so much for the input Scribblz! I had the interview on Friday. Not feeling overly great about my interview performance, but I am planning to shadow for a day if they want me and will likely accept the job if it is offered. Thank you for the...

   Thanks for the response IVRUS. I think a lot of my issues in Nursing are that I am largely a relationship-oriented person in a task oriented profession. I have been out of nursing for many, many years raising kids, and my manager hired me though I ...

   Hi all, Just curious to know how all you infusion nurses feel about med-surg nursing. I am currently working med-surg and hating it. I am considering applying for a part time infusion position that has recently opened but am wondering if I hate me...

5. Feeling overwhelmed

   J-lynn replied to J-lynn's topic in Med-Surg

   Thanks kbm2002. I am going to try and hang in there just to get the experience. Thanks so much for the response. Sure wish our hospitals offered 8 hour shifts on the floor. Twelve hours is just so difficult.

   Nutmegge...I have not done that. Thanks for mentioning it. MHDNURSE, no one has mentioned the cardiac workup. My husband is an ER doc, formerly FP. He said the same. She needs a cardiac workup. He said he would have her being a literal couch po...

    J-lynn replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    I think sometimes we are going to be criticized no matter what. I totally agree that relying on our gut, training & experience is the best way to make decisions. This is not an exact science as some people think. There are a lot of judgement ca...
