1. RN Gen Z vs RN Gen X

   dogmombyday replied to XXX ZZZ's topic in General Nursing

   OP, not at all trying to pile on. I am sure that your preceptor was not, by any means, perfect. However, based on your own words and justification of your behavior (saying you “shut down” and...

2. Do you recommend a year of med/surg in 2021?

   dogmombyday replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

   I strongly disagree with that, and very much agree with the other poster who said it turns med/surg into nothing more than a stepping stone. There are nurses who have worked med/surg for 30 years and...

3. Mississippi's nurses are resigning to protect themselves from Covid-19 burnout

   dogmombyday replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Unfortunately, I don’t think Mississippi is going to be the only state losing nurses in droves. And the nurse quoted in the article summed it up so well. At first, we were heroes, and now a lot of...

4. "But most of all, angry"

   dogmombyday replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

   I don’t know many of us that aren’t angry. I know I am. And frustrated and scared and sad and a lot of other things. I work in an ICU, so we see the worst of the worst cases of COVID. As of my...

5. New RN Questioning Leaving Hospital Setting

   dogmombyday replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

   Baby Turtle, First of all, can I just say good job on being brave enough to try out the hospital as a new nurse during this crazy time?! The first year is rough in general but add a pandemic on...

6. Is ICU worth the stress?

   dogmombyday replied to commitmentphobe's topic in Critical Care

   In short, yes, it’s worth it...BUT only if it’s where you’re supposed to be. I think the only one who can answer that is you. If you’re truly happy in your job, then stay. But if you think...

7. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

   dogmombyday replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

   Working, absolutely. I'm halfway through my first year and it is nothing like nursing school. It feels like my brain is whirring a million miles a minute most of the time. No number of lectures can...

9. Kicking myself

   dogmombyday replied to dogmombyday's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the kind words, I have to work on the whole Not-beating-myself-up part (I'm a little type a at times í

10. Kicking myself

    dogmombyday replied to dogmombyday's topic in General Nursing

    I made the surgeon aware of it, since it was my error. I saw no reason not to own up to it. He didn't seem to understand my freaking out and they were able to proceed with the procedure since it ended...

11. Kicking myself

    dogmombyday replied to dogmombyday's topic in General Nursing

    The orders were acknowledged on the previous shift. The patient's been with us for a while so the list of orders for him is long. Regardless, I should've caught it, but thankfully I checked back with...

12. Kicking myself

    dogmombyday posted a topic in General Nursing

    (This is basically just to vent, but I digress) I had my first ****show of a night last night and thought that I handled it very well. I mean like to the point that I didn't sit for the first half of...

    dogmombyday replied to bdy93's topic in Critical Care

    Agreed. I was offered a spot in the ICU at the end of my new grad fellowship but it came with a very intense 9 week orientation...and that's after 2 months of the general new grad fellowship working...

14. Job during nursing school=job after graduation?

    dogmombyday replied to Lauraann15's topic in General Students

    While it can sometimes be an "in", make sure it's a unit you'll want to stay on. I worked a year in behavioral health because I was told during my interview for the position that it would be a great...
