  1. Worried I made a mistake

    em3120 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This happened months ago but it still bothers me......I was passing meds and the Pyxis called for 8 tablets of x med, I had never heard of the med (I'm in psych and this was a non-psych med) so I...

    Thank you. I'm a worrier for sure and have a hard time letting go of that

  3. Worried I made a mistake

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you. I guess I worry because I would be responsible regardless of what the pharmacy does. I do struggle with a lot of anxiety and it's been spilling over into

  4. Emotionally drained

    em3120 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've worked at an inpatient peds psych facility for the last 3 years and I want to preface saying I LOVE working with the kids and my coworkers. However, I've been feeling burnout emotionally. I...

  5. Emotionally drained

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in General Nursing

    I work 36 hours per week and occasionally work OT. I have not taken PTO in at least a year because I've had to take off work for health reasons that didn't count at short term disability. This is my...

  6. Nursing after attempting suicide

    em3120 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Last November I tried to end my own life. In December I was contacted by the Virginia BON that I had been assigned a case number. I'm assuming that somehow my treatment team reported me. I was then...

  7. Favorite site for CEU's

    em3120 posted a topic in General Nursing

    What's your favorite site for acquiring CEU's? Everything I'm looking at seems expensive. I'm willing to pay for a membership but I want it to be from a legit

  8. Nurse admin as new grad

    em3120 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm graduating in May and looking at positions available for new ADN grads. One hospital offers a new grad fellow program in the "nurse admin" department and doesn't require a BSN. It's my...

  9. Accept this job or wait to hear from other?

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm going with the new grad position. It seems to be a better fit since I'm transitioning into this role as a new nurse! I kind of wish I could start working sooner but I know I need to...

  10. Accept this job or wait to hear from other?

    em3120 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, so I'm about to graduate in 2 weeks and I had an interview for a general adult psych RN position on 4/7. HR called me yesterday to offer me the job OR to offer me a position in the new grad...

  11. Accept this job or wait to hear from other?

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in General Nursing

    I'm crossing my fingers that they will respond tomorrow but I have doubts that they will so quickly. This is all great advice, thank

  12. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm preparing to graduate in May and some of my peers have already accepted job offers pending graduation/passing NCLEX. I put in applications about 10 days ago to 7 positions but haven't heard...

  13. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks to both of you!! It's hard not to get down when you haven't heard back from anyone and other people are accepting offers. I'm applying to more positions and trying to keep my hopes up that...

  14. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes all of them have BSN preferred but willing to hire ADN. I'm actually in VA! I'm not too sure I want to do med-surg. I'm much more interested in psych but I suppose I will look more at med-surg...

  15. Not getting interviews :(

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've applied to 2 positions in new nurse grad programs for NICU and psych. Then I applied to 3 positions (2 psych jobs, 1 peds) that said they were new grad friendly. I'm running into the issue of...

  16. Nurse admin as new grad

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in Nursing Career

    They offer so many new grad programs though! I'm not interested in med-surg but I thought an admin job might be cool. I applied to their peds and nicu programs but haven't heard back

  17. Looking for input on Sentera and Bon Secours hospitals in VA

    em3120 replied to 2617wal's topic in Nursing Career

    I've heard better things about Bon Secours than Sentara. Bon Secours does have positions available for new grads. I'm in the same boat though looking in the VA

  18. Last semester and applying for jobs

    em3120 replied to Adrienne.Russell's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've been running into the same issue. I had one application come back as "not under consideration" the very same day because of it. I'll try

  19. Second year nursing student not sure if good enough?

    em3120 replied to thehazdawg's topic in General Students

    This is me right now 100%! I'm graduating in May from a 2 year program and I feel too dumb to be ready to go out as a real nurse. I think it's normal! I've been told that so much of your learning...

  20. Maybe nursing wasn't for me?

    em3120 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm about to graduate in May from an AAS program and I feel like I'm hitting a wall where I'm utterly overwhelmed. Most of my classmates are applying for jobs and looking at BSN completion programs...

    100% me too. Graduation is May 5th and I feel like I could give up

  23. Just started clinicals

    em3120 replied to Alexandra888's topic in General Students

    Yes 100%! The best advice I have for you is to JUMP IN. It's scary but take all the opportunities you can to practice your skills and observe everything you can. Really the only thing you can do is...

  24. What are clinicals really like?

    em3120 replied to coder24's topic in General Students

    I'm sure it will vary on your program but for mine: 1) Anywhere from 1-3 days per week, usually 2 for me. Each clinical lasts either 6, 8, or 12 hours. I truly depends on the location and how they...

  25. Maybe nursing wasn't for me?

    em3120 replied to em3120's topic in First Year After Licensure
