Orientation begins tomorrow!

She meant, "here is a funny story and I kept this story 'in a bag' to tell someone to make them laugh on a crappy day'" I don't know, I didn't really have any issues figuring out the post, haha!

Tuesday was my one year anniversary of working on my floor! The floor gave me a company card that said thanks for my dedication, etc and one of those 10 point passes redeemable for online gifts (I got a movie ticket). And now, tomorrow is my LAST DA...

what about something like case management?

No, my manager doesn't let us do OT

One year ago Sunday I became a graduated RN with my Bachelor's! I now have 13 days until I start my critical care program. I know it might sound stupid, but besides the obviously nervous feeling of starting in the ICU and questioning my other skills,...

haha that is so funny! I've been on tele for one year now too and when I tell people that I will soon be starting in the ICU, they almost always think it means trauma. So, they mention things like, "oh, so you'll see a lot of car accidents and gross ...

17 days!:)

That's awesome!! When kind of ICU will you be in?:heartbeat:yeah:

I've been a tele nurse for one year, but will start in the unit one month from today (August 24th)! I just wanted to chime in that I am excited:):) hehe.

Sometimes you're just going to have days like that and as time goes on you will know how to time manage better! I've been a nurse for a year and have had many days that sound like that, even just yesterday! You just gotta figure out a flow, like you ...

I think that your preceptor should have freakin' helped you when she saw you struggling, especially if a patient isn't being turned, etc. Did you ask her for help at all? I know it can be hard sometimes when you don't know someone very well or how th...

1 month, 1 week, and 4 days until I start!! :):)

Hi everyone, I've been working on a progressive care unit almost a year (Aug. will be a year). I work day shifts. I love the days; I'm a morning person and I love everything that goes on during the day. However, I am trying to get into critical care ...

I dont ever say those things about night nurses and I don't appreciate the fact that you would imply I would. I don't imply anything about the night shift and their habits, I only know how I operate and I know that I am in bed by 945 on most nights a...

That is what I figured too, if I didn't take it (if I get it) then I would probably regret and always wonder what if. However, once I am in the program I have to give them a year or pay back money. What if a day position doesn't ever really open up a...

The CNL on my floor is awesome! You should wish you had someone there for extra hands, it is really beneficial.

Hey, I just took ACLS on Friday. Definitely obviously get the book and do the pre-assessment exam. Then go through the book and memorize (understand) all of the algorithms. The course wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. No one was out to fail u...

It makes me wonder how these people are to waiters; nevermind if they treat a NURSE that way who is taking care of their loved one. Scary!

Happy Earth Day, everyone!!

Is there a correct way when writing out your name with title...should it be "Nicole, RN, BSN" or "Nicole, BSN, RN." ?? Thanks guys!

Thank you!!!

The reason I ask is because I've seen it both ways and I wondered if one way was more correct and why!

I feel you. For the most part, I just smile and fetch whatever it is that someone wants (cups, juice, crackers, blankets), but then sometimes it is so ridiculous. For instance, I bring a family member in a blanket and as I bring it in, they ask for c...

I did all of the HESI's too and those also felt great to pass and receive good scores, but nothing is quite like the NCLEX!!
