Hi, I just got my first job on a unit that uses a lot of ventilators. What are some of the basics I NEED to know/understand about them? (I'm new to nursing, and have never used one before). The internet goes into a lot of detail about different modes, settings etc, and I want know what all an RN actually deals with when it comes to vents? I appreciate any advise!

Hi, I just purchased the online portion of PALS through heartcode. I thought it was supposed to be self paced (meaning I could resume tomorrow). But it then said that it expires today! There is no way I can finish today, and I can't contact the company until Tuesday!

I agree with you. I feel like such a failure. Obviously I can't completely blame my job failure on my eating disorder but at the same time, when you weigh about 2/3s of what you're supposed to you're likely going to have a hard time at work. I'm shattered because I don't know how I'll find a job anywhere now that I've failed once (and to be honest, I don't even know if I'll be able to succeed at a new one.

Hi, I'm writing this in hope to get some insight on my situation and advise or what I should do. So I was recently fired from my first nursing job. It was a residency program and I basically "just wasn't progressing". I honestly agree with their decision to fire me because I found the residency program extremely challenging and was having a really hard time even managing two patients. During this time, however, I was suffering from an eating disorder, which, although I am by no means "cured" of, I have at least gone through a rehab program and regained my physical health. I don't know if my eating disorder had anything to do with my lack of success in the residency program, but it definitely didn't help. I'm now debating what I should do as far as work. I know it will be extremely difficult finding a job after being fired, and there's no way I feel ready to do anything other than another residency program. I'm contemplating writing a letter to my old job and explaining my situation, but am afraid that I will fail again. Does anyone have any advise or insight?
