    deeDawntee replied to RNSuzq1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    deeDawntee replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    I know exactly what you are saying, I also worked with the Developmentally Disabled and absolutely loved that population and the close relationships that developed. That says a lot about who are as...

    Need advice for a friend

    deeDawntee replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what to tell you. The scenarios that you describe sound horrible for a family to experience. As a friend in this situation, the best thing you can do is to listen and offer support in...

    Self sufficient???? When????

    deeDawntee replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh My Gosh!! What a shift from 'you know where'! I don't know of any nurse, no matter how much experience they had, that wouldn't be stressed out by all that you had to deal with. Self-sufficiency...

    my classmates HATE me

    deeDawntee replied to hpynurs2b's topic in General Nursing

    I think many of us have been in situations where we have felt like an outsider. God knows I have. But when you look at that group of people who are excluding you, do you really want to be a part of...

    Trying to get hired in ICU

    deeDawntee replied to Meandra's topic in MICU, SICU

    How many patients do you get now in med surg? Perhaps it would be a good transitional post to take, or do you think you would get stuck there? If not, why don't you try a different hospital? I don't...

    Trying to get hired in ICU

    deeDawntee replied to Meandra's topic in MICU, SICU

    What is IMC? And whatever that is, would it be a bridge to working ICU? If you worked there a certain amount of time, then could you work ICU? If so, it might be worth it, especially if it gave...

    Would you be a patient at your place of employment?

    deeDawntee replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Nursing

    That would totally be against HIPPA regulations. So if anyone did try to hold something against you, you would have the law on your

    Any Advice????

    deeDawntee replied to dreamrider_212's topic in General Nursing

    What you are experiencing is so normal and actually a good sign that you are taking your responsibility seriously. When I am feeling insecure at work (we all do at times, even us old-timers) I remind...

    Disgusted with my behavior, need help

    deeDawntee replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that you should be very proud of yourself for surviving your first 2 months on the job!! I would hope that your coworkers would 'cut you some slack' given how stressful that initial...

    new grad feeling discouraged

    deeDawntee replied to newladyRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    When I was a new grad, there weren't a lot of hospital jobs available, so I did long term care and TCUs. What I would strongly recommend is to look into some sub-acute facilities (transitional care...

    Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    deeDawntee replied to deeDawntee's topic in General Nursing

    By how well you are doing on your Dennison questions, I'd say you are right where you should be for CCRN. You should have no problem. The thing is that there really isn't a lot of memorization for...

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

    One of the very best things about nursing is that you can keep trying different areas until you find your niche. Personally, I had 6 jobs the first 2 years or so I was a nurse and it never got in the...

    deeDawntee replied to RNforhire07's topic in MICU, SICU
