  1. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    You are right-the nursing supervisor, the ER and ICU are close by. If I needed someone, they could be there quickly. Anesthesiologist is there for awhile, then when patient is obviously stable, they leave. That is my feeling too, that I should get ...
  2. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    I agree, it is alarming and I don't know how they get by with it. No...we don't recover anywhere else. And it doesn't feel safe. Just another reason I don't know if I should stay. I have learned so much in the short time I've been there. But, still f...
  3. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    I moved to a new town. So I can't go back. I guess I am staying because of the starting over. It's awful and stressful beginning a new job. I wanted a specialty so that in a few years I could do travel nursing. Just hoping it will get better. I have...
  4. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    I have been torn every since I started my PACU job. I worked in a inpatient Rehab unit for 2 yrs and absolutely loved it! Times when I thought "I can't believe I get paid to do this." I have been in PACU for 6 months and not loving it. Not sure if it...
  5. Med error- manager told everyone at meeting and made me explain

    I needed to hear that "been there, done that" ...I have been obsessing!! Reading your post actually made me laugh and take a long hard look at myself. I need to move on and put this behind me. Thank for saying what I needed to hear. I have thought ...
  6. Med error- manager told everyone at meeting and made me explain

    Thank you all so much for your input. :) You were all very helpful. Although I want to stay at this hospital, I feel that my boss was so disrespectful of my feelings. She didn't even tell me that she was going to do it. Just blindsided me at the mee...
  7. Need advice from seasoned nurses on how to get past a med error when others won't let me. I'm a new nurse of 7 months. I accidentally gave humalog instead of humalin N. Followed all the protocol afterwards and the patient was fine. The nurse manager...
  8. Frustrated First Year Nursing Student

    Hey....I feel your pain. I've been where you have been. Questioning "Is this for me?" I have 5 more weeks to go and I'll finish my LPN. It wasn't easy, but I'm glad that I stuck it out and didn't quit. It is SO incredibly time consuming, but you'l...
  9. finished my 1st semester, not sure if I wanna go back

    I guess I am starting to question whether I want to be a nurse....with lectures about lawsuits....MRSA....etc. Also, I felt like we were just thrown into clinicals. I felt very unprepared and I'm afraid it will be more of the same next semester. A...
  10. Anyone else not sure if they want to back the 2nd semester?? I worked so hard for 4 months. No life.. just school and studying. My little girl (11 yrs) felt like she never spent time with me. And the stress... unbelievable stress (a lot of which ...
  11. Best "throw away" exam question ever.

    Our very last question on the final was this---- What is the emotion you are feeling as you answer the final question of the semester?- A. Excitement B. Joy C. Thrill D. All of the Above I thought it was cute...made me smile. P. S. I put D.
  12. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    Thank you all so much for the pep talk. I really needed it. Someone mentioned talking with the instructer...but that's a problem too. She's outright cruel...I've never seen anyone behave like that. She's treats us like children.....almost verbally ab...
  13. I'm feeling pretty bummed right now.....we had three tests last week. Two of them I got A's, but the one with the critical thinking....I got a C. I studied for hours...and got a C. That is sooo frustrating...and I'm thinking maybe I don't have what i...
  14. Need help with shoes.....

    I love new balance shoes as well...but our nursing program requires a "nursing shoe" from a nursing company. I don't get it...why can't we just get a shoe that we know works. I bought some cherokee shoes...but I'm not crazy about them. Any other s...
  15. Nursing school is SO hard-that's all I hear

    Thank you all so much for your replies. Your words of encouragement have helped me tremendously. I finally went to register....and I'm going to do this in spite of my fear. I think if I were to back out now..I would always wonder and regret it. T...
