WOW THAT IS Amazing!! Very happy you're kicking *** at this gig. Slow ... Every orientation I had, I've been asking for more and more time 😀

----------------- Possibly - harassment? If she was written up and/or suspended for crashing out - I can see that being the punishment. But based on her recount of the events, it seems like harassment - there maybe a case, if it can be prov...

Whenever any of us write anything, it's subjective therefore it's hard to say what should have been done without looking at things objectively ... What maybe could/should have been done: check vitals more frequently and not await for anyone else...

Managements hate call outs and look at patterns. I didn't realize I had a pattern until someone showed that every 3rd Thursday of the month I was calling out, just happened that my older kids were still babies and bringing some bugs at home whi...

WOW. Just few thoughts and Qs and it's more for you and you're piece of mind... 1) has anything of this ever happened before? 2) as far as you know, what do your coworkers feel about your ability to perform you're duties? 3) has ...

This might be a good question to contact an attorney. If you haven't yet, try anyone and see if they can direct you to someone who might be familiar with this sort of thing.

Your expecting MUCH more from you're self, that's why you feel that you're drowning. Good leaders, like parents, see the potential of their subordinatea and see exactly how that potential is playing out. As we are living in it, we feel that we a...

So depending on how far you want to take you're knowledge 🤪 https://onepagericu.com/ PDF/PNG files of some critical care topics. Another one is First Aid for USMLE Step 1 https://archive.org/details/fa-2022 very good sum...

My transition was from medsurge to ICU. Actually, more accurate, during 2020, when my hospital created PCU, I've volunteered to join the staff there and pick up extra bits of wisdom. Then, ICU manager gave me an opportunity to get some cross training...

I'm in NYC. My Hosp requires BLS/ACLS,. especially for ICU staff. They'll pay for the class but we pay $10 for the card. For certification, regardless of the type, they pay $1.50/hr extra. Union reimburse, partially, for th cost of the e...

It might be long, but it's been my journey... I wanted to sit for board exams back in 2017/2018. Learned there a difference bn BC and CSMRN. Life got in the way and then I learned about CCRN and realized that the knowledge of CCRN is where I wan...

Thank You 👍

I finally got my CCRN and very excited about. It took me number of years, then paused for a while, restarted again and finally got it. Now that I got this, I'm contemplating to go for other certs like Trauma and Stroke. But is it worth it? I'm n...

Thanks for taking the time to answer this. 🙂 Definitely helps!!

Just to clarify, I guess I'm with many people here on this one... Did you pass all of the classes in the nursing school? If you passed and graduated then you ought to be qualified to sit for the licensing exam. If you didn't pass, then...

No worries 😁 All good .

What does your hospital policy state? Does it give rational why the times are as such?

@emmym It's been few months since last post, any luck with making your decision? How's the journey coming along?

It's been almost a year since original post... @RN_Lovee how's it going?

In my hospital, up until last week, PCU has been 12 beds with 3 RNs. Sometimes, there's a shortage so PCU will have 2 RNs. Depending on what's happening in the hospital and ICU it's self, ICU RN might float to PCU to balance out these numbers. ...

In you're original statement, it appeared that going for food seemed to be very important. There was no indication from how unit functions, to charge nurse, etc etc. This situation could have easily been related to rushing towards something. The...

I'm following... Got my CCRN now looking into SCRN.

My guess, and it's just that - a guess, is if the same vein only points of insertion are different, it could be an issue since these veins are more superficial. Midlines, are deeper veins, to which, the point of blood dilution is probably more likely...

Keeping this reply to the minimum, here are few links that I think will help you on you're journey... https://www.amazon.com/Positively-Unstoppable-Author-Diamond-Dallas/dp/1635650208 https://ddpyoga.com/ Good Luck 👍😎

Been there, done that... So, without knowing anything about the patient, let's analyze the physiology behind this. NS is isotonic and will replace intravascular volume. So in the case, of sepsis, dehydration, things like that, NS (or in m...
