  6. Nursing and overtime

    incublissRN replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I started picking up extra shifts about 8 months after I transferred to my unit but I had been a nurse for over a year. I only pick up maybe 1 or 2 extra shifts a month if I need too. Usually I'm...

  7. Rough Nights at Work

    incublissRN posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    The last two nights at work have been rough. The first night I had a patient that had a CABGx4, AVR with an IABP. The most unstable patient I've ever cared for. Vasopressin at 4 units/hr, epi at 30...

  8. If not Nursing, then what????

    incublissRN replied to my3kids's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmmm, difficult question. After I got over the 1 year hump I feel better about my career choice. I like my job for the most part. There are days that I want to pull my hair out and never come back...

  9. Will my feet/legs always feel this way?

    incublissRN replied to cherokeesummer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    incublissRN replied to cdktRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have the same type of system. When we put in the order we can type in select, select assist or non-select. We choose select for patients that are able to order their own tray, select assist for...

  12. Rough Nights at Work

    incublissRN replied to incublissRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Generally, I do too. I work nights and if there is a chance to receive I jump on it. I like running machines and I like sick hearts. I took this patient because I need experience with the IABP and...

  20. Rough Nights at Work

    incublissRN replied to incublissRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    They did hook up his wires and they probably pushed meds I assume. I wasn't there, I probably didn't hear the whole story. I prefer not to do CPR either but I wasn't caring for him at the time. He...

    incublissRN replied to incublissRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    The first time he vagaled his wires weren't hooked up to a pacer and they did CPR. They're definitely hooked up now. I haven't been in the room since that night but I heard he is circling the drain....

  25. Is nursing what you make out of it?

    incublissRN replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Tweety. After I graduated and started working I was having a hard time coping and I blew everything out of proportion. After a year and a half I now am more easy going but I still do a...
