    Student2Registered replied to uptownnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The first few months will be hard. You will want to be perfect but will fall short of that expectation. You will make mistakes. You will be awesome. You will have good days. You will have bad...

  3. To the RN I just had hospital orientation with today....

    Student2Registered replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    I love the NAs (as we call them) on my unit! They rock, they help with my total care patients when they know I'm busy. They save my orifice in emergencies by knowing exactly what I need and getting...

  4. Impossible patients/pt. family members

    Student2Registered replied to juliaann's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I have any advice for you except to know that you are not alone. They preach all of this empathy stuff to us but when you are being completely attacked it's hard to think "oh this poor...

  5. Best Workplace 2010

    Student2Registered replied to sam.morgan's topic in General Nursing

    At this point the only thing affecting my decision was: Do you hire new grads :) Now that I'm working, I'm grateful to be where I am but if I were to look elsewhere I'd be most concerned with 1.)...

  6. Committee Meeting, what should I wear

    Student2Registered posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a committee meeting tomorrow and can't decide what to wear. I mean I'm so used to wearing scrubs to work that I don't even own your typical professional business attire. What would you

  8. How does this happen??

    Student2Registered replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in General Nursing

    New Grad here...and after a long hard day at work I'd like to say that although I still love nursing I can see why some people can HATE it. First of all, we work so hard. We hold our own pee while...

  9. First time you put your stamp on the world as "RN"

    Student2Registered replied to Emergency RN's topic in General Nursing

    Student2Registered replied to shlee121's topic in First Year After Licensure

  11. Transplant Nursing

    Student2Registered replied to really's topic in General Nursing

  12. Orienting New Grad advice

    Student2Registered replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, it was very hard to have a rhythm with my preceptor and then have a new one who did things so differently. I'll never forget the day my main preceptor had me in tears because it was...

  17. RN moms - I need help!

    Student2Registered replied to Student2Registered's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! My kids are 2 and 4, really at that age that structure, routine, and consistency matters. I actually do feel 12 hour nights are working better for our family. I just can't seem to get a...

  19. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    Student2Registered replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Ideals vs Reality for the Aspiring Nurse

    Student2Registered replied to Peige's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have found that I am so busy that I don't have time to care for the "whole patient". That saddens me. When someone is crying and every part of my inner nurse wants to sit down and be there...

  22. Commuting opinions

    Student2Registered replied to ShellyRSRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have experience with commuting but I work with plenty of nurses that do. Although it isn't ideal, I would think that it's realistic for this economy and situation us new grads are in. By the...

    I am in the same frustrating situation and I just want to ask the senior nurses and/or managers on this forum what is the rationale for not having a set schedule? We are educated health care...

  24. Dislikes

    Student2Registered replied to mindystl's topic in General Nursing

    1.) Never knowing what my schedule will be. 2.) Patients and family members treating me like I am their slave and not respecting that I have four other patients who feel the same way. 3.) Incontinence...

  25. Confession time: Is nursing what you thought it would be?

    Student2Registered replied to BabyLady's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd say yes and no. On the one hand, when I can really make a difference or when I catch something subtle and report it I feel great about being a nurse. On the other hand, I really thought people...
