Hi all :) if I am wrong about this situation please let me know. I am a brand new nurse and I started my first job two weeks ago. My first week I noticed my preceptor was harsh on one of the nursing...

I asked them if I could resign and they said it was understandable. I really loved working there, but it was so toxic. I start a new job and it seems like a really nice place with a lot of good...

I am a hands on learner. I can't watch and then do it perfectly. She guide me by showing me, but I think it would have been helpful it I was able to do stuff. Well, I got the insulin down,but she...

Thank you for you're response. Just please don't take my story and think you will ever expiernce anything like this. I have to learn to take a breath and find something to research/learn instead of...

Yes, I apologize I didn't want to come across as it was my preceptors fault at all. I was shocked because it was my first time caring for this patient and I would never forgive myself for giving a med...
Ilovenursing3 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing
No, she didn't say anything. Just that (my preceptor and the aide) didn't need to get up as they figured I had it under control. Well, I guess I didn't. You sound like a nursing aide that I would...

No, it's not worth it at all for a patient to fall. I have always said that if I patient falls in my watch, then I failed. God I would be so angry if a patient fell on my shift. It's a lot of...

Yes, you are correct. Its 100% to know what someone is doing wrong in nursing. I would always ask "Did I do everything okay or was there anything that could have been done better?" "What am I doing...

I never said she is inadequate. I fully admitted my communication and attitude towards the situation could have been better. I think it's safe to say it's possible you're assuming I'm a know it all...
Ilovenursing3 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing
Yes, you are very correct. The aide at the nursing station is my preceptors best friend. They both say there and did nothing. I'm not a know it all and think I'm better than anyone, but come on, there...

Thank you for you're reply. I guess I did over react. I did freak out on the inside, but he was educated and we moved on. I was told to document patients refusal, but not about calling the doctor. I...

Thank you all SO much for taking the time to reply and give advice/input. I think we all have established I need to learn from it and move on. I am not sure if I would have to start a new thread or if...

You're definitely not overbearing. At first, you put me in my place and I thought about it. It was constructive cristism that helped. My posts are all over the place, so I appreciate the feedback. It...

I remember in nursing school we had an instructor everyone was terrified of. She was fierce, but so knowledgeable. Myself and a couple of other students butted heads with her because we were so...

Oh wow-discharging a patient without shoes on and cuts on their feet? I wouldn't think someone would do that, let alone because they want to them to discharge quickly. Being professional is probably...

I'm glad you made the reply as that is exactly what my Mom told me. She's an RN and told me to fight it. But, I'm the new girl in town. There are several instances where it was myself and my preceptor...
Ilovenursing3 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing
Well, I am not exactly sure what to say to that as I would have absolutly no reason to make any of that up. I began to think it will just me that felt this, but the moment I had three other employees...
Ilovenursing3 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing
I think I should ask a question and it will clarify whether or not I am seeing things differently. I see the good in people, however are their nurses that are manipulative, backstabbing, selfish...

Hi all, When I comment back I try to reply to each poster. It looks like it's replying to the entire thread, so it's probably not making much sense. Sorry about

We wouldn't work on the same shift. Since it's an 8 patient bed unit, it's one nurse and one nursing aide. She's not my boss and I probably would never see her again at work. I'm sure most nurses...
Ilovenursing3 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing
They were sitting at the nurses station doing not a damn thing. This is my first nursing job. Am I overthinking it or is it possible people don't care and and don't want to do their job? They were...
Ilovenursing3 replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing
It is so much that happened I was more worried about patient safety. The last shift I worked my preceptor and her friend did threaten me, but that has nothing to do with what was important to me. I...
