Thank you so much for all the information! It is very helpful hearing from someone who has had experience with infusion nursing. I appreciate all the pdfs too. I will definitely take a look at those. Much appreciated! ☺

I have been a nurse for a year and a few months. I started my nursing career on a Telemetry floor and I now work on an Oncology floor. I really want to leave the hospital setting and do outpatient nursing. I have been thinking about trying infusion nursing. I am currently in the process of getting chemo certified in my current position so I plan on staying until at least December. However, I am trying to get prepared now. If anyone has done infusion nursing before is there any tips or advice that you think would be beneficial for me to know prior to getting started? Thank you! ?

Thank you, that is awesome! I love hearing the different opportunities there are with nursing! I've been strongly considering leaving the hospital to start at an outpatient setting once I get a little more experience. I was just curious about my options! Thanks again for sharing your experiences as a nurse ? I understand where you're coming from. Eventually I do want to teach, but I am new and need more experience. I definitely love being a nurse, but I think it is the setting I am in that is making it difficult for me to adjust. Thanks for sharing!

Yes I definitely still love being a nurse but like you said, the setting is making it hard for me to enjoy giving patient care!

Hi everyone, I am working at a hospital on a telemetry unit taking care of 6 patients. I really do not love what I am doing which is sad because I am a caring person. I feel like I don't have time to really connect with my patients due to the amount of documentation and other responsibilities that are expected of us. I still like nursing but I feel like working as a RN in the hospital may not be the right fit for me. I dread going to work every day and become overwhelmed just thinking about it. I was wondering if there's anything else I can do with nursing out of a hospital setting? I have tried looking things up but some of the positions I have found only hire LPNs. Any ideas? Thank you! ?

That is true! Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it! I am proud to be a part of this profession! ?

Yes, you're right. I always find that I overwhelm myself for no reason! I have been working on a flowsheet that will work for me during the day. I am hoping the one I recently made will work for me. Thank you for your advice! ?

I appreciate your advice! You are right. I have been trying to be patient with myself since it is a learning experience. I know eventually everything will come together. Thanks for taking time out of your day to make me feel better!

Hi everyone, I recently graduated from nursing school in May and passed my NCLEX in July. Fortunately I have been hired at a hospital and on orientation for a few more weeks. I am already feeling nervous about starting on my own. I have noticed I am having a difficult time remembering everything about the three patients my preceptor has paired me with.... Which worries me because I will have six patients when I'm on my own. Does anyone have any advice for addressing these feelings? Thank you!

That is awesome! Congratulations :D I have heard many good reviews!

This is good to know, thank you! Maybe I will wait until closer to graduation to get it because if I get the 90-day package now it expires in May! I would like to review the whole month of June and take my NCLEX in July. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you for your sweet response! You made me feel better! I feel less overwhelmed now!

Thanks very much! I'm glad you had a great experience! It is nice to hear ?

That is great to hear! I was hoping yo be a step ahead of the game. That's why I applied for this position. Thank you for your comment!

Hello everyone! I have heard really good reviews about UWorld. I am currently in my last semester of nursing school and I feel I should start preparing for the NCLEX. I know several peers of mine who have already purchase UWorld and have begun practicing. I was wondering if anyone has used UWorld, and if so, what package would you recommend? I see one for 180 days valued for $249. I was just curious if it is worth it? Thank you! ?
