Try not to beat yourself up over it, learn from your mistakes. If something doesn't look right to you, go with your gut and look in to it. Ask Dr to confirm order, ask co nurse is this right? This doesn't look right to me.

Yes I too have struggled with anxiety sense nursing school. Ms.piggy your story reminded me of my first flight when I thought the arm rest separating me and the guy sitting next to me was down. starting up into the sky, grabbed with both hands and ...

I worked at a Nursing home in which some nurses got upset because I took to many smoke breaks. In my defence I always informed the other nurse I was leaving the floor. I may go out 5 times in one shift to smoke. how long does it take to puff a qui...

I just started agency myself. Mostly have been going to the county jail, I did two Nursing home shifts 3-11 and couldn't believe how hard it was. I hadn't finished my 5p meds and they went for dinner. They came back and I finished the 5 pm meds. ...

don't mean to sound stupid but what is MEPS

On your nights off do you ever dream you are working. On several occasions I dream I am filling med cups, pouring liquids over and over, then I wake up and feel like I worked all night for no pay. Some times Ill dream I am giving a pt a wrong med a...

air walks, love them.

I had an experience with a mail nurse. He had a desk job, doing what I'm not exactly sure. One night the other nurse didn't show up. That left me with 52 pts. and I called the supervisor and said cant you tell ill call him jack to take the no show ...

I never heard of this in NS, but There were CNAs going through the CNA class ran by my employer that were kicked out because they were pregnant, there were others that were in there early months of pregnancy that hid there pregnancy's until after the...

thanks for the vote of confidence, and the pep talk. you don't know what it means to me, really. I admire all you RNs and soon to be RNs out there with such great assessment skills, and general knowledge. I am always so happy when they send me to ...

If even the slightest possibility you were stuck, first thing in the am, explain what happened. It is probably nothing, try not to worry. but just to be on the safe side, fill out proper forms and get tests necessary. until then try to be calm. l...

Thanks, one job, one shift, yep sounds good to me. I am scheduled at the jail through the agency all next week, and of course they never put me in the same location of the jail twice and its like each section is a new facility. but after the first...

I really want to find something at night like a 10-6 shift at a nursing home. I think that might be for the best. Most do 11-7, but who knows, if they are desperate they might compromise. Thanks so much for letting me know I am not alone feeling t...

is there any one else that feels this way? I really need some suggestions on how to get over this.
