2. ICU/HDU

   GucciRN22 replied to mayflower2000's topic in International

   There's a nurse on our unit who sounds like she's about your age and she just started not too long ago (from a med-surg background) and she's doing great! I say go for it!! :) By-the-way, what's HDU?

4. I think I'm too slow for Critical Care...

   GucciRN22 posted a topic in CCU

   i was a nurse for about a year and a half before i came to the icu. i felt fine out there (of course after the initial wanting to throw up every night i had to go to work;)) and i wanted something more challenging. i've been in the unit for a littl...

5. Why do nurses do this?!?!?????

   GucciRN22 replied to GucciRN22's topic in MICU

   i'm not saying that i don't want to work with people who won't report me at all, but to pick things that are serious (and both times with this one nurse it wasn't anything serious). i would totally expect someone to call me out on something that was...

   GucciRN22 posted a topic in Stress 101

   i'm having a huge problem at work because of my chronic migraines. the sick calls are mounting and technically, i'm only allowed 3-4 per year and i passed that a long time ago. fortunately, my boss has been pretty understanding, but it's getting to...

7. Please don't expect CNAs to

   GucciRN22 replied to Lendytaylor10's topic in General Nursing

   that this is even a problem is stupid! if i don't expect myself to do a task that requires 2+ people, then why on earth would i expect someone else to do it?!? i guess some people don't think before designating tasks....

   GucciRN22 replied to GucciRN22's topic in MICU

   thanks guys....i guess i should've mentioned that i wasn't a new grad when i started in the icu...i had a little over a year of m/s (plus floating to other units) under my belt, so i guess i figured i'd be better at my job as well las the ups and dow...

9. how long do i feel like an idiot?

   GucciRN22 replied to belindalou's topic in New Nurse

   When I was on the floor I'd say about a year, but since I've switched to ICU, I don't really see an end in sight! lol It gets better every time I work though, so that's saying something, I guess.

10. Why do nurses do this?!?!?????

    GucciRN22 replied to GucciRN22's topic in MICU

    i actually met with my boss today and told her a few of my concerns and things i wish would get paid more attention to. i mean, i don't want pats on the back for doing my job, but having good things noticed once-in-a-while would be nice. it was a g...

11. Why do nurses do this?!?!?????

    GucciRN22 replied to GucciRN22's topic in MICU

    thanks for all the comments....it's just kills me that i let it get to me because that doesn't help me at all. my manager isn't like that at all and most of the other nurses i work with aren't either. i guess i just care too much about the fact tha...

    GucciRN22 posted a topic in MICU

    i've been off orientation for about 9 months now and it just seems like all that ever gets back to my manager about me is the negative stuff. it's really starting to **** me off because i may not be a great critical care nurse yet, but i've done som...

13. Scared to death I am going to lose my license

    GucciRN22 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in New Nurse

    It's always nerve-racking to start a new job and there are always gonna be people who make you feel stupid or not good enough so don't do that to yourself! I mean, I did and still do, but we shouldn't! Just never get to where you think you know eve...

14. Has anyone picked a specialty before nursing school and actually done it after?

    GucciRN22 replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I wanted to do L&D or PP or Nursery. Well, after I graduated I got a job on MedSurg/Onc/Tele and was pretty happy with that but still thought I wanted to do something OB (I love babies!!). Thought I'd ruled out everything but mental h...

15. Finally... I have a job! But now I'm so scared!

    GucciRN22 replied to spp2423's topic in New Nurse

    I was a piano performance major who didn't want to be an RN ever, despite what my parents wanted me to do. They knew I wouldn't want to teach it and that's pretty much all you can do unless you want to perform for a living. I tried to do both major...
