Wow, I probably would have been fired too; I have low blood sugar and you are PREGNANT, it would have been on!! He's so ignorant, if he's stealing lunches, there's no telling what else he's stealing! His manager needs to definately be told about th...

Cool, thanks, this helps a lot.

Thanks guys, your comments are very helpful, as I was wondering how a brain sheet would be helpful on this type of unit. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated as well. Anyone know what the a day is like on the unit. I will be on midnights,...

Clinical was extremely hard for me, but make sure you see all you can and do all you can, will help you in the end. Im a new nurse about to venture in my first nursing job and I feel so unprepared; but all my friends tell me that nursing is pretty m...

All of the above have good suggestions; I would definately take this to the powers that be, as this person sounds like she is slandering your good name/repitition and it could hurt you in the long run. Misery loves company, so if you try to move to ...

I second that; this is exactly what I used and passed with 85 questions on my second try. You can do it.

Thanks armygir7, I can really relate to what your saying, you make it sound doable; any chance you could be my preceptor, lol.
