   I'm not sure why that's an odd way to do an insulin gtt? although it is the only way I learned on the unit. What do you do? And yes the blood sugars for the previous nurse were high therefore she...

   I'm so sorry you went through that! It really does suck, doesn't it! But I'm doing better than I thought. I actually just talked with a friend who worked the same unit years ago and had similar...

   Thank you! And to respond to your questions. I don't think new grads should go into an ICU. I think they need to develop skills first. Whenever a new grad got pulled to my old tele unit they were...

   My preceptor was watching me do everything for CRRT, then if I'd do something wrong she'd tell me and show me the right way. It wasn't really guidance, it was more like, "here figure this out and if...

   They used Cerner and I came from a hospital that used Epic. So that was a big change

   @ Katie I see what you're saying. It was a very "clicky" unit and I did not feel like I fit in. And I hope you're right about the employers only giving dates and personal verification! Thank you...

    My question is did they terminate you with these reason in writing or was it more of a "At will" type termination. It makes a difference because with at will terminations you can put prefer to discus...

    HansRN replied to HansRN's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of felt that they had decided early on as you said. I saw other nurses not catch alarms and need prompting. Drips that were ended and needed replaced. I felt like any little thing I did was...
