Hi, I currently work in San Jose and am a SN II in an ED. I have been with the hospital a little over 7.5 months and am making 35.43/hr. I work days so I do not get the differential. With is from 3-5.00/hr depending on shift. Have a good one Lisa

Thank you so much for the advice. I have since went to work and was told by the nurse I reported off too that she saw the patient once and then she was sent upstairs. All I could think of was you saw her once....I at least go in and check my patients several times :) Anyway..thanks again.. Lisa

Hi SJSU Miami, I do believe that Valley Medical Center has a NICU new grad program as well as Kaiser Santa Clara. As far as I know Good Sam will begin your training in Mother Baby and L&D and then move you as soon as you get the experience. I could be wrong. Congrats on almost being done. Lisa (Orca1)

Oh my gosh....you guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! THANK YOU so much for your positive words and advice. I will read them daily. Lisa

gwenith Thank you so much...I was able to convinvce myself that I did everything I could and that it was okay. Lisa

Hi Everyone, My name is Lisa and I have been working as a new grad in an ER. According to management and my coworkers "I am doing fine" Tonight I feel like crud. I had an extremely difficult patient and am doubting everything I did....even though at the time it felt like the right thing. She received her meds and proper care but I wanted to do more and wished I had. So, with that said. How many of you come home from work and go over each and every step of your day wondering if you messed up? If so, what do you do to stop it? It is midnight, I have been up since 5 in the morning and I can not sleep. Lisa

Hoolahan.... THANK YOU!!! Finally a response I can understand :roll It is time to look over the notes and apply everything. Lisa

Hi, I need help from the professionals :) I am being tested tomorrow on cardiac and was wondering if anyone in the critical care field can explain preload and afterload in student nurses terms;) I am a bit confused and need a little clarification. Thanks Lisa
