    belle005 replied to belle005's topic in Patient Medications

    Thanks for the info! If anyone else has any other opinions, I'd love to hear how you handle PRNs. I get competely different responses from all my coworkers who all seem to have their own unique...

  3. Did I Do Something Wrong?

    belle005 replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did great. Prior to admin, you looked at the BPs, noticed the trend was low, you thought it would be ok. The BP was rechecked when you learned it was low, you made sure the patient was...

  4. My narc count was over!

    belle005 replied to August10's topic in General Nursing

    I had something similar happen. I had counted with another nurse. I looked at the cards and the other nurse followed in the book saying "yep, yep, yep" as I read off the cards. At the end of my...

  5. Moving from LTC to Med-Surg

    belle005 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I know there are other threads related to this topic, but nothing current. Wanted some fresh advice on moving from LTC to the hospital. I have been an LPN for about 9 months and have been working...

  6. Really depressed about new LTC job

    belle005 replied to Jess84's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks! At least I know I'm not the only one who feels really overwhelmed and uncomfortable with my job. I read other posts too that it takes approx. 6-9 months to even start feeling comfortable,...

  7. Really depressed about new LTC job

    belle005 replied to Jess84's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My 3 month probation period is almost over. I still feel pretty overwhelmed most of the time. I'm wondering if they'll even decide to keep me or let me go. Any thoughts? How did the end of probation...

  9. help! new grad...I hate my job...and want to quit

    belle005 replied to RS0302's topic in General Nursing

    RS0302 - Hi, I'm a new grad right now and hating my first job. The other nurses tell me "the grass isn't greener anywhere else". I'm wondering if I should just quit nursing all together. Right now,...

  10. Really depressed about new LTC job

    belle005 replied to Jess84's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, you guys all sound just like me. I'm one month in and it hasn't gotten any better yet. What's worse is that I'm a "float" in a large nursing home. So as soon as I feel like I have a handle on...

  11. Really depressed about new LTC job

    belle005 replied to Jess84's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey, it's been a couple months now and I just wondered if it had gotten any better for you? Your original post could have been written by me - I started my first LPN job in LTC July 26th. I hate...

  12. Anyone from Gateway Tech?

    belle005 replied to marizires's topic in General Nursing

    So, did you end up getting in? I am at Gateway too and applied to Burlington this time. I didn't get in and am very frustrated about it. I have a 4.0 gpa and the people telling me they got in are...

  13. Anatomy Class

    belle005 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm not sure how to search old topics. My question is, how gruesome is A&P? I am just starting out (obviously if I'm only in A&P), and I paged...

  14. Anatomy Class

    belle005 replied to belle005's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone who took the time to reassure me. Your comments are very helpful. I was worried that my fears maybe were indicating this wasn't for me... but I had class last night, and I'm pretty...

  15. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    belle005 replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am a nursing student. What are the "rules" for this type of situation? If you refuse to report to work during a pandemic can your license be revoked? I'm afraid enough of all the HA-MRSA I'll be...

  16. Any Experienced Nurses Love Their Job?

    belle005 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Any experienced nurses loving their work? I am a first semester Nursing student. The negative threads are really scary, and the positive threads really aren't all that much more encouraging. No...

  17. Need Experienced Nurse Advice

    belle005 replied to belle005's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good point. A lot of the negatives are probably about venting frustrations and not necessarily nurses who "hate" their jobs. At least, I

  18. Need Experienced Nurse Advice

    belle005 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a first semester Nursing student. The negative threads are really scary, and the positive threads are not much better. Do all nurses make serious errors, or operate under the constant fear of...

  19. Any Experienced Nurses Love Their Job?

    belle005 replied to belle005's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. That DOES help. A lot of postings on the site about being fearful of errors, fearful of the phone ringing, hating the long hours and shift changes, worrying about your licence. I didn't...
