1. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

   BobbyDigitalis replied to BobbyDigitalis's topic in First Year After Licensure

   BobbyDigitalis replied to BobbyDigitalis's topic in First Year After Licensure

   These responses from you all, my peers (more experienced and versed than I) absolutely make me want to cry (again), out of gratitude. Thank you for helping me to feel better, to keep want to trying,...

   BobbyDigitalis replied to BobbyDigitalis's topic in First Year After Licensure

   One of the more frustrating things, I've found, is being critiqued (or lack of and just changed) by a higher-up who doesn't know the floor, or, even how to administrate. With a resident discharge I...

   Thank you, I'm glad I'm not overreacting, I'm pretty sensitive, which might not be perfect for a profession like, but thank you all the same, especially for including me as one of "us". I'm so new, it...

   My preceptor told me I'd be perfect for ICU because my attention and writing, thank you, that means a lot! I'm still only an LPN so I have to get to that RN bridge, which I'm finding is easier said...

   Very much so, yes, always been a perfectionist, which, only recently am I learning that it's a negativism and not a compliment. Still trying to be able to handle not meeting my expectations without so...

   Wow, I can't thank you all for the supportive insight. Today was the end of my workweek on back on nights. It was awkward but I mustered through. Everyone was supportive and so, "awe that's bs, don't...

   And something that I can't shake either; "you need to work on your time management"...How am I to do that, without feedback or advice, at 3 am, with now...triple the residents? You're bs'ing me, with...

    Thank you, for all that you said. It still feels impossible to pick myself up, I go back to NOC tomorrow night and feel, changed. I wouldn't be nearly as distraught as I am, had I not known that the...

    Please, anyone, I'm so distraught and at an impasse with what to do or how to feel. I'm a new LVN, been at a SNF for about 9 months now. I started on NOC, petrified, with 52 residents to myself and 3...

12. New grad, 52 residents, anxiety through the roof

    BobbyDigitalis replied to BobbyDigitalis's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Actively looking for other jobs, it's very depressing TBH. As disappointed as I am that all my work and effort has lead me here, I'm even more anxious about actually finding a new nursing job, with...

    BobbyDigitalis replied to BobbyDigitalis's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I first thought about this, I didn't really seem motivated/worried. The DON seems amazing and supportive, I like her a lot. Get along with most of the nurses. I know the residents now. It's...

    TriciaJ, I think I am too! Finished lastnights pass by 10, which is a big improvement for me, you get in a rhythm and you get hyper focused. My DON asked me to pop in before I lest and told me I...

    TriciaJ, I'm certainly not afraid of asking questions, though sometimes it just doesnt stick and I'll have to ask again, even after taking multiple notes. This assimilation of everything at once,...
