Thank you all very much for the feedback. I need to come back to this website much more than I do, its so helpful! I guess I'm enjoying it much more now that I have a bit more flexibility with my schedule. Taking it one step at a time... Esperanza

Hello Everyone, I've been under a different kind of stressor recently. I am in my last month of the RN program. Graduating June 4th, woot woot!!! I am just worried of not performing as I should once I get a job. My preceptorship is in a pre and post-op unit. I am a pro at inserting IV's now, haha. I'm just not confident in prioritizing and time management of 5 patients. I havent felt that I've been challenged enough during my clinical rotations. The days that I have been feel like they have been too few and far in between. I am an eager learner, upbeat and can take constructive criticism. My problem is in forgeting textbook things I have learned or something I havent been exposed to enough. My question is what do you expect from a new grad on your unit? I'm hoping this feeling of uneasiness goes away. Any advice, suggestions, concerns??? Oh and another question, how many of you recommend Kaplan or any other NCLEX prep course? Thank you all, Esperanza

I dont know why this is so hard for me. I somehow just get by with doing these and I'm to the point where I would like to master them and not have to make them out to be this huge problem I'm not sure how to handle. Patient is 97 years old, resp failure, vent dependent, anemic. s/p trachesotomy, gastrostomy tube placement. Also has htn. Foley in place. NPO. What do I focus on? I dont even know where to start. What is my priority? Thanks in advance.
