    New nurse cracking under pressure

    deeDawntee replied to hollyjolly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would call tomorrow and see if you can get your old job back. You have been through too much to give up now. Remember the old adage that you never quit a job until you have another one in place?...

    deeDawntee replied to KSU-SN's topic in Nursing Career

    I am sooo sorry that you are going through this. I want to suggest that you go to your school's counseling department and spend some time talking about exactly what happened that "changed" your mind....

    Feeling Guilty -- Need Advice

    deeDawntee replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    You can decide it is worth your effort to find compassion for the man or not. I suppose that you are having lingering feelings about him is an indication. I would offer a different perspective....

    Please help: new grad on tele floor

    deeDawntee replied to hollyberry678's topic in Cardiac

    I would also add knowing your chest pain protocol VERY well. Get a copy of it right away. Often Cardiologists like to get an EKG before nitro is given, if possible, find out if that is a policy at...

    Fishy interview-need advice

    deeDawntee replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take the position. Listen to your intuition, it is telling you that something is "fishy", trust your gut and find something else. That extra money will do you no good if you end up losing your...

    deeDawntee replied to TazziRN's topic in Home Health

    She'll get over it. Just because you are taking care of someone in her family doesn't mean you have to kiss everybody's behind. You were just stating the truth and if she couldn't handle it, it is...
