I looked on the internet. Search, "short term nursing goals AND knee pain." I paged down and found a site by 2 authors re: orthopedics and knee pain. Might be worth checking out those STGs listed in the paper.

I would just let it go and chalk this up to experience. Focus your efforts on obtaining the new position with a positive attitude and move on. You will be better for it. Good luck.

I graduated from nursing school at 55 and now I am in my 60's. People think I have been a nurse for at least 35 - 40 years but I am still learning all the time! Yes, I make mistakes and encounter the Spanish Inquisition at report time from nasty RN's the age of my grandchildren. Nursing is tough and not what I expected. But we all make mistakes and you are on the right track establishing an organized plan of care. I live with a drug book, my own special report sheet for each patient with medication/treatment times listed (like you do), and readjust when things change. Often I am tired and blame it on my age. But I am not ready to sit home and watch the soaps and Oprah either. I plan to keep on going until 70 if I can. By then I may be a charge RN!!! Please don't give up. Nursing needs you and bedside nursing is wonderful. Good luck!

:bowingpur Thanks Lori. I spend long, long hours on the unit and will try the Crocs. I just gave away a new pair of Dansko's (worth $125.00). Pretty expensive lesson! :twocents::twocents:

I would like to purchase crocs but do not know where you find all the different styles mentioned? Online or in stores? I have spent so much money on everything from Dansko to Merrill's - are crocs any better? Thanks. :typing
