Welcome to the 'Fretter's Fraternity' . I guess everything falls in place once we actually start working. And I'm sure almost everyone must have gone through this anxiety of moving from the college program to actual practice.

Don't get irritated. I think everynursing program college can release a list of whiners and criblings. But then to each his own...can't help it, can we?

Nothing wrong with that as long as you don't forget the basics you learnt at your nursing program college. Remember, it's a tiring job that expects you to show some empathy even at the end of a 12 hour day (where you've probably hadn't had a break). All The Best!

I agree with many students that the care plans jargon does tend to get over the top. But i would no day want it evicted because it lends a universality to our work. It propels uniformity that allows a nurse anywhere in the world to understand the necessary data. Moreover, i guess it's this jargon that allows me, a student of an Ontario nursing program, to share opinions with nurses from different corners. :)

First of all, this is for all nurses and students of nursing programs :bowingpur Nurse Nine arms

ACU deals with the requisite treatment of a disease, which is in a severe stage, for a short period. The services rendered are like those in an emergency department. The aim is to ensure a quick discharge. PCUs are more specialized and focus on specific systems. They are also technologically better upgraded and involve greater monitoring than med/surg units.

Hey, Welcome to the 'brutal days insomniac nights' fraternity . No nursing programs in the college match up to the actual experience of the crazy shifts and long hours. But then you'll get used to it soon. And the satisfaction of work well done will just beat out all fatigue.
