  11. Burnt Out As A New Nurse

    Rita June Jarvis Isaac replied to RNa23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is a lot you have gone through, it is mental and physically damaging. Whenever I am in such a toxic environment, I try to exit myself as the effects may be more costly to remain in that...

  12. Two weeks into orientation, constantly terrified. Is this normal?

    Rita June Jarvis Isaac replied to hollyleaf's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is normal, everyone moves at a different pace, ICU and ER are considered specialized areas and they are even more challenging to get your first orientation. The skills and monitoring are intense...

    Rita June Jarvis Isaac replied to Bryanna Reilly's topic in General Nursing

    Rita June Jarvis Isaac replied to NurseWriter_AJP's topic in Nursing Career
