   rose1135 posted a topic in Career Support

   I have been a RN for a year. I have worked 7p-7a in an emergency room for that year. I have not been looking for another job, but was recently offered a home health position (a friend referred me) and have been offered Mon-Fri 8-5 and about 6000 more...

   rose1135 replied to sisrn1's topic in General Nursing

   I am so glad I stumbled on this post.. I too suffer from shaky hands!! It is worse when I am nervous, or learning a new task, but it is always there. Patients sometime ask how long I have been a nurse, and I just make light and try to find humor in ...

   rose1135 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in New Nurse

   I could see where having an IV team could contribute to losing the skill of starting IVs!! Next time things aren't very hectic (if that's not fantasy) see if the nurse starting the IV will let you do it. It might give you a little more confidence hav...

8. IVs.... When will I be good at this?

   rose1135 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in New Nurse

   I do the same thing "TigerGal". It frustrates me when I do that, then a seasoned nurse walks in, sticks, and slides the cathlon in one fluid motion. We will get it!!! Just gotta keep trying :)
