"Easy" nursing job ha! there isnt any such thing

dont worry, it is called venting but i know i get upset sometimes but who doesnt, i do know this i have been a nurse all my life and i dont see myself doing anything else i love it! now there are times where i want to scream!! But thats normal it is a high stress job, but its nice to do something good for people though just go with it you will know by the end of your first semester if this is for you best of luck

real nice

i am a new nurse only been a nurse 3 years before that i was a cna for 4 years and i am in school for my RN now the most satifying thing to me (and forgive the spelling i just got off of work and i am dead) is to be able to asses the patient there is alot i can tell just by the way my patient is talking to me. now i know i have a long way to go and you have to crawl before you walk but what the new grad is forgetting that patients tummy tuck might get infected and who is going to be doing the dsg change! lol reality will hit her in the face lol

I think i am burned out i love what i do dont get me wrong but i find myself so tired all the time i think i am doing to much. How do you guys deal with burn out? please let me know thanks

ohh man lets see i want to move home but i make 56,000 a year hear in CT, i do miss home alot though always thinking about ya

thank you i dont feel so alone now :)

no trust me this is casual see when i come on here i have just gotten off of work i work 11-7 this is my venting hour this is my unwind time and alot of time it is to just vent i dont worry about spelling or punctuation i am not at work and i am not in class and to hit it about one of the things spoken up in one of the other threads no i didnt say i was stupid there is another lpn for some reason out to get me that thinks i am stupid come on i know i am smart i know what i am doing i am pround to say i am an LPN and maybe i am just over tired because i am going to RN school and i work alot of hours to pay my bills but i love what i do and i couldnt see myself doing anything else but this i was a CNA at 15 so this is what i know but you know now that i stop and think about it i want to hit on something else the comment I love scrubs made so even when your at home you still act all prim and proper cause i sure dont i let my hair down take off my crocks and enjoy being a normal person for a min so yeah i am offended by that comment you made come on what was that about??? anyways so whatever thanks for letting me vent like i said in the first tread

hey it depends what shift are you trying to get on???

yeah but i am not going to feed into them because they have issues call DR Phil lol

ER gives me fash backs lol

hey i know what you are talking about they do eat there young i became an LPN at 20 yeah i know what was i thinking its what i wanted to do i am 23 now and there is this nurse who works 3-11 i work 11-7 and she talks to me like i am freaken slow now i have done every shift i have been a nurse for going on 3 years now and i must have know what i was doing to graduate i must have know what i was doing to pass my boards i do know what i am doing i have that confidence now i know i am human and i do make mistakes and i own up to them learn from them that is how we grow in nursing but this nurse will harp on it the only thing i can think is she is jealous because i have what she has at such a younger age then her and i am good i love what i do i love my patients and when there is something that needs to be done i do it i dont cry about it i just do it i dont know what to do about this nurse i have confronted her told her to talk to me as a peer and not as a child i am getting sick of it !!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH cant we all just get along!!

no no no lpn is lets pretend nurses lol anyways that is what i did i am working as an LPN while i am getting my RN it has help me so much because i am working with the RN's and they can tell me what this or that so i would go for it

Hey i got a question i became an LPN at 20 and why is it we eat our young and why is it some other nurses see me walk in and all of a sudden they think ohh she is young and dumb she doent know what she is doing! I guess i knew what i was doing to pass the boards so i do act young i dont act stupid though and if i have a question about anything i ask i though that is what you are supose to do but what is this about me being 23 i can pick up a person with a UTI or LL infiltrate in a snap just by the way my patient is acting i hate being judged that i am a idiot because i am young what do i have to do to get RESPECT thanks for letting me vent but its gotten to the point should i go pour coffee at dunkan donuts cant we all just get along!

i am a LPN here in CT i hate it i guess because i was trained in virginia and the southern style of nursing is different but anyways overtime haha you could work every day of the week double shifts here and they start new grands in new london groton around 20 an hour
