Im in the ENP program and have never had any issues at all.

I want to go back for my BSN online, and came across this college. Has anyone heard or suggest this place? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm a fairly new nurse ( passed my boards in June of this year 2007 ) And I've got about 6 months of PCU nursing under my belt so far. The thing is.... I HATE my job. I dont enjoy going, I dont really enjoy the people. To "clicky". I have always wanted to do ER, but there were no new grad openings at time of graduation for me, so I settled for whatever I could do. Big mistake. So I applied at a local hospital for an ER position, was interviewed, and hired. I will continue to work both jobs because I signed a contract with the pcu one ( dummy ) Any who, they agreed to give me 12-16 weeks of training, and Im very excited about that, but im so nervous. Er and floor nursing are different. Any one have any advice for my first day tomorrow? I guess im more worried that I will let people down or something. Just a little worried and stressed. And probably wont sleep tonight. Got that whole new nurse jitters all over, DARN IT!! Thanks guys!

At this point I'd be willing to do anything to prove. The sad thing is i feel like...why am i being stressed out and so worried when I didnt DO anything wrong?

Hi everyone. I am a new GN nurse, on my 5th week of orientation. I take 3 patients on my own so far, doing well... although at times my head is spinning and I question my ability :) But thats normal .. .right? Anyways, I worked yesterday 7a-7p. I get a call from the nurse supervisor at 7am today ( my day off!! ) as I see the phone ringing, im thinking OMG i was supposed to work today!!! Oh no.... i messed up my schedule..THINK AGAIN. SHe says, " Did you remember giving a oxycotin to your patient yesterday?" I said...as i try to wake up and my heart starts beating 1000 x a min. Yes, My patient is on Oxycotin 10 Q12H, 12pm and 12am is her scheduled time. I am familiar with this order b/c it is new and the doctor wrote it while I was on shift yesterday. I also remember b/c I have never seen that pilll before until yesterday. So I said yes, I remember distinctly giving her 1 pill at noontime. She said are you sure you didnt accidently grab two from the pixis when you got hers? I was like....umm NO. I am a new nurse and the reason im so slow is b/c i check, double check, triple check everything im doing. So, she says okay, just wanted to check. So thanks, its 7am my day off and im about to throw up. I called her again at 11am, I just couldnt get my mind straight. I asked her if everything had been cleared up? She states that she has to talk to one more person, but there is 1 pill missing and it has to be held accountable to someone. So instead of getting a better feeling from calling... it got even worse. I dont understand...we have a pyxis, i remember the count matching, and taking out one for her. The only time it was accessed again for the oxycotin was at midnight when the night nurse went in to pull her dose for that patient , and thats when "the count didnt match". Could she of taken it herself? I have no idea what to do. Whats going to happen to me? I know i didnt make a mistake, and not in a MILLION years would I take any medication, I have a hard enough time taking tylenol. Has this happened to anyone? Is my license gonna get taken away from someone else setting me up? I dont know what to do..im so confused... Thanks guys.

I took the hesi. Im not sure what the score as far as the hundreds-- but I got an 84.4 I also passed the nclex.

OHHHH if i had it , I'd mail it to you!! But here's the scoop. IM A POOR NURSING STUDENT-- Well ex student now. So i went to Barnes and Noble, got a coffee, and sat for hours using it. Then I'd put it on the shelf, come back the next day and work on it. Is that bad? LOL Gotta do what you gotta do, those books are pricey!:monkeydance:

SUNNY FLORIDA!!!

Got my results a little earlier than expect. I PASSED thanks for all the support.

Congrats!!! I also found out I passed today...but I didnt have the agony of all those questions. I was a lucky 75! Kudos to you!!! Lets party!!!

Oh thanks!! I know what you mean, of course I've had my few share of bad preceptors through out nursing school. Always seems to amaze me. HELLO WEREN'T you in my shoes before?? I did have some great ones though, and I will never forget those Angels:saint: Time to be a big girl and forget the excuse " I have no idea, IM just a student!" Thanks for the support

Hi everyone!! I just found out today I passed my boards!!:balloons: So Florida has a new RN! I start July 1st for my graduate nurse position. Im scared to death. Did anyone feel this way? I am so afraid I will hurt someone or mess up. You would think anxiety would be over after getting through school and nclex...but I feel its just begun!!
