    *do I even know what I'm doing?*

    amy0123 replied to level1_traumaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There is a way to know what you are doing: #1: If your preceptor is telling you that you need to improve in a certain area, for example: IVs, dressing changes, documentation, etc. Write it down!!...

    Help getting organized?

    amy0123 replied to superdeluxe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The nurses on my floor don't use a clipboard. They use the back of a sheet of paper. If I was the only one using a clip board, they may look at me as if I'm silly. Maybe not. Maybe it won't be so...

    New Nurse in the ER

    amy0123 replied to LRMRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congradulations! Everything may seem weird in the beginning, with your preceptor watching, or peeking over your shoulder, but it is part of orientation and evaluating your skills. Once you show them...

    Just need a hug.. Anyone else??

    amy0123 replied to healer27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I absolutely need a hug. Honestly, I don't get enough of them, maybe if I get one hug within a week, I am happy. It can be really tough to work on a unit. Period. I just don't know what else to say...
