I am a new grad rn, on the floor for 5 months. I feel terribly inadequate, like I will never learn what I need to. Everything from diabetes and insulin (feel terribly unsure about that) to when to panic (O2 sat dropping, I need to come up with some kind of check list before I start getting butterflies in my stomach, like rearrange oxygen sensor, head of bed up, deep breaths...) to procedures (picc and cvc dressing changes, ostomy changes) to common diseases and what to look out for (small bowel obstruction, this is what to expect..) There is only a handful of nurses on the floor that I feel I can go to with questions, there is a pack of incredibly witchy nurses that I always seem to get stuck with. They are so high and mighty they won't smile at you in hall when you smile at them... I enjoy the patients, I like the manager, like the hospital, some days are better than others, just tired of not knowing. Any suggestions? Any real good books out there?
