    GGT1 replied to Dana1969's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Having Issues with pumping at work

    GGT1 replied to AJ1980's topic in General Nursing

  8. RN's forced to do CNA work

    GGT1 replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. Shift Assessment, Preceptor Questions, etc

    GGT1 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most people look back at the last assessment...just don't copy it. An assessment is what you see, hear, feel....not what the last nurse did. But as a new nurse it's is sort of a reference. if you...

    GGT1 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    This is exactly why I left the ED. I loved the work...faced paced, always something new. But I could not take the cattiness and VERY STRONG personalities. I'm more of the shy-quiet type and it just...

  21. Question re: patient handoff/shift change

    GGT1 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

    There were 2 of you (you and preceptor) and only 1 of her and she was still receiving report. I think you should have went to help (without your preceptor telling you to). Not to mention a patient...

    GGT1 replied to NenaRK's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
