  1. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

    BobbyDigitalis posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

  2. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

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

    This is for myself, as much as any others whom care to relate. What an ironic, scary, sad thing to recieve more support from an internet forum, full of strangers, with no obligation to care or advise...

  3. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

    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,...

    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...

  5. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

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

    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...

  6. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

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

    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...

  7. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

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

    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...

    Thank you. I can hear your words. Hopefully that day comes sooner rather than later. Thank you...so very

    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...

  10. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

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

    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...

  11. Shift change -> revokement; no esteem left

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

    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...

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

    BobbyDigitalis posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello everyone, I hope it's okay to soundboard here. I passed the NCLEX in CA on April 1. I've now been ward clerk for 3 days "orientating", and while I did get some experience (first...

  13. 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...

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

    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...

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

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

    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...

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

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

    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,...

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

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

    amoLucia, I made my own cheat sheet with resident preferences and info (the facility have some incorrect things on them). I've fully taken to heart the "don't sweat the small stuff". Last night a...

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

    Thank you so much for this, TriciaJ! That all, really helps me...breathe. The worksheet tip is genius! Thank you, I will implement that! Last night I did both halls, all 52, and my med pass took...
