A nurse sent me this video who i precepted years ago, nice video for new students, new grads and us old timers who needs reminding at times how rewarding our job can be.

If I work 7-3 we can't leave or punch out til 3:23 but most times unless running late I get out between 330-345. But there have been times I'm leaving at 400 0r 430pm

Would talk with the cardiologist or whoever is your chief medical officer about the problem. Maybe if they holler enough the lab manager will sit up and understand why its so important. Don't direct it to the techs or lab people you need to talk w...

First of all say to yourself "Is this what I want?" If the answer is yes then you have some work ahead of you. Make an appointment to talk with either a guidance counselor or one of the deans of the program on how you could possibly return. If not...

I say good nursing judgement. As for the doctor I think you need to speak with your nurse manager next staff meeting for this to be brought up and discussed with the doctor. There are parameters that must then be written by the cardiologist in the ...

I so totally agree! It's nice that you feel like you communicated well, you did your job now you are done. It may sound cold but that is our job to provide them care and therapeutic communication while in the confines of your care.

Congrats to your daughter! I bet mom is so proud!!!

Definitely appeal! You have rights, I would look into finding a lawyer maybe at the college if their is a law school there might be a help center where they can possibly provide you with information for free law advice.

If you have the regret then go back. I feel there are some really good schools out there and some no so great schools. Check out the schools before you apply, ones that usually have a waiting list do so for a reason. Check out their nclex pass rat...

If you have the desire the "@$%% with everyone and just "do it"! Look 14 years ago when I told my family I wanted to be a nurse I was laughed at by my family, dh's family but I had the desire and a supportive husband that said "Go for it" I was a ...

Love the pharmacist. Believe me a good one will have no problem letting the doc know the dosage is exceeding the normal limits or at least let the nurse know so they can call him.

The rules are out there to protect us, patients and family members of our patients. People have a right to privacy and we as nurses and care givers have to respect the privacy and know there is a line we cannot cross. It's one thing I think if you ...

Get yourself a book on acls and study before you go to the class. I really think you need to have some idea even before you go to the class, because there is a lot of information if this is new for you.

:up:Marissa Give yourself a pat on the back! Congrats to you. I think if you want to work in a hospital call to talk with a nurse recruiter at the local hospitals around you. Tell them you will work on any floor, they probally will put on a basic ...

"Okay, now that I received my rejection letter, I am free to speak freely. Here's my opinion of that school: Sh*t, and I'd already decided that before I ever interviewed." Sour grapes??? Sharon turns out some pretty good nurses. I worked there for a...

The cleveland clinic is an awesome place if you get your foot in the door. It is about 90 min from me and the students from our area that get jobs there learn so much that whatever floor you choose will be an incredible learning experience. If you ...

I work in an 80-bed step-down unit with both, but we are on the same team. We have levels 1-3, one being essential monitoring. 2 being our intermediate care unit which is heart patients recovering from catheterizations, CHF, chest pain, etc. Level 3 ...

I totally agree with mary above, I knew nothing at least it felt that way when I got out of school. I felt like I made so many mistakes it was almost ridiculous. Things really don't seem to click til you been out at least two years and finally it s...

Okay it seems like you are really overwhelmed. Your preceptor needs to take you back a notch. Right now you are not handeling 6 patients well, just feeling overwhelmed and losing your confidence. See if you can take less of a load for right now. ...

Shadyside hospital school of nursing 1997, pittsburgh pa No caps I never got a pin, could not afford it at the time but it had a nurse holding a lamp I think.

Getting a new job! Actually I'll be on vacation in siesta key but the next week new job, new facility!

Realize that if you don't give 2 weeks notice you won't be able to use them as a reference down the road. Try talking face to face with your manager before giving them the letter and explaining your intentions and why you can't give the obligatory 2...

You might want to try geting a casual job for one of the med surg floors. You can always get your foot in the door for ccu once they see you are doing well. Express your desire for telemetry nursing and how eventually you want to work critical care...

Good luck on your first day. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. Nobody will think any less of you. They will think you are someone that cares about your patients. Good luck and let us know how it went tommorow.

Oh erin. What can I say but send you a hug. I know exactly where you are coming from because you sound like me 12 years ago. Working on a major metropolitan cardiac sdu is tough especially in your first year, especially the first 6 months. I want...
