  1. New nurse, need help!

    pednursedeb replied to I RN A's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with previous post about getting help etc. It just takes time. Nursing is just stressful and you may never quit beating yourself up if you make a mistake, but try to. One thing that helps me,...

  2. "Found on Floor" Documentation

    pednursedeb replied to stephanienicole87's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're charting everything your're supposed to. I personally do not like charting by exception. I think it opens you up for problems. You should have a flow sheet though or...

  3. Burnout

    pednursedeb replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I went to work originally for a not for profit hospital. Originally this was good. I know it was better than the other local hospital. Then a corporation took over and things went downhill for the...

  4. Missed informed people about LPN profession boils my skin

    pednursedeb replied to mydee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was a LVN for 9 years before becoming a RN through a transitional ADN program. I graduated from LVN school in 1985 and they were talking about phasing out LVN's then. I don't think that will happen...

  5. What's so stressful about working 3, 12hr shifts?

    pednursedeb replied to ArtisticAthlete's topic in General Nursing

    Have you had enough yet. I'm not sure that you really get it. There were a lot of good posts, but you really would just have to do it to understand. Just as I can't understand what an athelete's day...

  6. Burnout

    pednursedeb replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to agree with your mom. The biggest problem though is a hospitial is run by people who never do hands on nursing or maybe never have. They might have a business degree. Do they have more...

  7. Burnout

    pednursedeb replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I also understand burnout. I am there. If I could just care for my patients the way I want to life would be good. Our hospital has changed our grid twice now in 3 months. We get less staff and are...

  8. Petite Nurses

    pednursedeb replied to Littlemisslizzie's topic in General Nursing

    As everyone here has said. You'll do fine. I'm 5' and weigh 96 pounds. I know when to get help. I have never hurt my back. I've been a nurse for 23 years. I do have trouble finding scrubs that fit,...

  9. Peds Hospitals Hiring?

    pednursedeb replied to Rianna1's topic in Pediatric

    I don't know for sure where you are looking, but unless you go to a specialty children's hospital, most standard hospitials have a mixed unit on pediatrics. I work on a floor called pediatrics, but we...

  10. nursing heartbreak :/

    pednursedeb replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if I'm understanding you. If you charted notes in advance that weren't done yet that is a big mistake. If you just charted on the wrong paper, that's no big deal. As has been said before,...

  11. Nursing nursing nursing

    pednursedeb replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi I do think nursing school is hard to get into. The classes aren't usually very big. Part of the problem is instructers. They just aren't paid enough to stay in the positions. I didn't go to LVN...
