Thank you for your constructive input. The thing is that she’s a very smart girl and knows why. Honestly she’s just being difficult. I will use what you said though, mostly so that it turns the attention back on the patient.

LOL. Every new grad nurse feels like they have a lot to learn. You are unreal and unsafe if you feel like you know it all.

I am a new nurse and younger than a few CNA and less medical experience. I am dealing a few nursing assistants who will often question me and my interventions in front of patients. IE how to position patients with increased ICP. That a patients blood pressure cuff needs to stay on in the CVICCU. Etc. Honestly, it’s exhausting. I already have a lot on my plate and a huge learning curve without having to deal with a CNA who is constantly fighting me. All nurses know how much we still have to learn and how horrible it feels to feel inadequate as a new grad. I’m tired. And not to mention having to do their job too because they simply will not do anything I ask. I was a CNA and I will help with any and everything. But I have work to do too. I am non confrontational and super respectful. Unfortunately, I bottle things up and smile. But I will eventually blow up and it won’t be pretty. I am trying to avoid this. Any suggestions?

I finished lpn in May 2019 and got right into the fall RN cohort august 2019. Graduated May 2020. Block 3 will be a lot of the same info from lpn just deeper and from RN perspective. Block 4 is more challenging since it is completely new info that builds on concepts from all blocks. And even though block one and two of RN And lpn should be the same, they are slightly different and you’ll have to make up the learning curve. Very doable though. Good luck to you.

I applied May 21st and was accepted June 6th.

I just got placed at GWCC and I would talk to an advisor. Set an appt or ask about their walk in days. But I had to take a psych bridge course and if you haven’t had pharm in a while you may have to retake that. Good luck guys!!!
