Need Advice Please

Hi I took my NCLEX last week and Passed! But I have started a new job about 2 weeks ago in a psych facility I feel very overwhelmed with passing meds and all the paper work. All the pts run to get there meds and Im so much slower then all the other nurses.Plus I have never had to deal with psych pts before. If anyone has advice for a new LPN I would appreciate it. :icon_roll

Hello there and congratulations on becoming an Nurse. I not an LPN as of yet (I'm am LPN student), but I was wondering something. You said that you had never work with psych pts before right? so if u never had any experience with these types of pts, then why did u get a job working with them? I suggest u get a job working in area that u feel more comfortable working in. As for the meds problem, you're a "newbie" and it happenes to everyone. please don't get discouraged. Why don't u try to give the pts whio take their meds the easiest, first. Then give meds to the pts are a little hard to deal with last. Also what works is thaT IF U SET UP AN organizational system. Give meds to those pts that are top priority (for example, pts on Insulin). This not only makes u more organized, but improves your time of passing meds more effciently.I really hope this helps. it's just my :twocents:. I wish you luck on in your career. and remember, hold your head up high and don't let others get to u. :):):):nurse:
