  1. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    veronica123 posted a topic in PACU

    I have been torn every since I started my PACU job. I worked in a inpatient Rehab unit for 2 yrs and absolutely loved it! Times when I thought "I can't believe I get paid to do this." I have been in...

  2. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in PACU

    You are right-the nursing supervisor, the ER and ICU are close by. If I needed someone, they could be there quickly. Anesthesiologist is there for awhile, then when patient is obviously stable, they...

  3. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in PACU

    I agree, it is alarming and I don't know how they get by with it. No...we don't recover anywhere else. And it doesn't feel safe. Just another reason I don't know if I should stay. I have learned so...

  4. Wondering if PACU is for me.

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in PACU

    I moved to a new town. So I can't go back. I guess I am staying because of the starting over. It's awful and stressful beginning a new job. I wanted a specialty so that in a few years I could do...

  5. Med error- manager told everyone at meeting and made me explain

    veronica123 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Need advice from seasoned nurses on how to get past a med error when others won't let me. I'm a new nurse of 7 months. I accidentally gave humalog instead of humalin N. Followed all the protocol...

  6. Med error- manager told everyone at meeting and made me explain

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I needed to hear that "been there, done that" ...I have been obsessing!! Reading your post actually made me laugh and take a long hard look at myself. I need to move on and put this behind me. Thank...

  7. Med error- manager told everyone at meeting and made me explain

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thank you all so much for your input. :) You were all very helpful. Although I want to stay at this hospital, I feel that my boss was so disrespectful of my feelings. She didn't even tell me that she...

  8. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    veronica123 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm feeling pretty bummed right now.....we had three tests last week. Two of them I got A's, but the one with the critical thinking....I got a C. I studied for hours...and got a C. That is sooo...

  9. Usually an A student--got a C on 1st exam

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much for the pep talk. I really needed it. Someone mentioned talking with the instructer...but that's a problem too. She's outright cruel...I've never seen anyone behave like that....

  10. Accepted-Now having second thoughts

    veronica123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey gang, Anyone else having second thoughts about going to nursing school? I'm accepted for the fall--and wanted it SO bad. Now I'm doubting my decision. Is this just fear? I'm Sooo confused. Am...

  11. Accepted-Now having second thoughts

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you all for your insight and words of encouragment. I told my best friend about this website (she's in the nursing program now) and she asked "Why would you care about what a bunch of strangers...

  12. Are you over 45 and just accepted?

    veronica123 replied to DoGood2u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be 45 in June and I received my acceptance letter a few weeks ago....I went from SO excited to pertrified in just a few days. I think it was due to the immunization problem. My records are not...

  13. Online course...Yay or Nay?

    veronica123 replied to MrsBradyMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was thinking of taking a Math for Meds class this summer. Do you think that would be okay online?

  14. I LOVE the mailman!!

    veronica123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance letter an hour ago and I'm still smiling. It was a regular sized envelope and thin, so I'm thinking "that can't be good". But, when I opened it----it said "Congratulations"! I...

  15. I LOVE the mailman!!

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much for your well wishes....I'm still on a wonderful high from "the letter". Yesterday after opening it....my husband left the room for a bit (maybe a half an hour) and when he came back...

  16. Thoughts of the day?

    veronica123 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The waiting is torturous, pure and simple. I've resigned myself into thinking that I'm not going to get in...maybe that way I won't be as crushed. I did pretty well on the NLN...but the competition...

  17. NLN-what is a "good" score?

    veronica123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey...I'm new here...and I've been reading your posts for a couple of months now. I just got my NLN entrance exam score in the mail. I feel it's not bad...a 131 composite. But, will it be good...

  18. Interview Tips?

    veronica123 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do most schools do interviews? In all the material I've received, there was never any mention of an interview.

  19. NLN-what is a "good" score?

    veronica123 replied to veronica123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for your replies.....I'm in Illinois and trying to get into a local community college. I'm in the 92nd percentile, but I don't know if that will be good enough. I wish I would have asked how...
