Thank you! Last night was actually a little better:)

Thank you! I've tried all that you mentioned EXCEPT to stop squeezing! Duh! That would make sense.

I am new on a LDRP floor. I am on my own now, but I was mostly trained for labor. However, I have been working both positions. I had two babies that needed PKU tests done the other night. I could not get it to save my life. This poor little newborn:( I felt so horrible and inadequate . I tried sticking him twice, and I could just not get the drops I needed. The nursery nurse I was asking to help me was clearly annoyed by me. How long before this was something you ladies were comfortable with? Any tips? Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I just recently moved into a LDRP from a surgical floor. I am about to come off orientation in one week. I feel terrified. I am starting to wonder if I made the wrong choice. Is this because I'm new, or have I made a terrible mistake? I want to give it six months before I throw in the towel. I'm allowed to go PRN in a few months, so I'm hoping that will help. I haven't worked full time in a while. My question is, did any of you labor nurses have feeling like this? Being scared or anxious? Is this a sign I'm not cut out for this? Or is this normal bc I'm new at it?

Anyone need books or uniforms , let me know super cheap. I have everything! [email protected]

Hey guys! Congrats on everyone getting in!! I have uniforms size small, and all the books you need for the program!! email [email protected] if interested!!! Priced to sell....

I don't know about you guys, but I did well on those tests! I spoke with Miss Em. So far I love my teachers, and I am really starting to get to know the girls and guy in my sections. Everyone seems great now, and I am starting to feel more comfortable after being to all my classes. Still super overwhelmed trying to figure out how I am going to work full time and do this , but you moms out there are my inspiration. If you can do this having kids around, I can do this working!

The handouts really help sort through what will be on the test!

I got my flash cards Janobia. The person who sold me the book mailed them out so I have been able to use them! Yay!

Gosh girl , I know. I need to get my polo! I need it for Monday. I'm going to have to sneak out of work this week to get it. Well Sunday night sound like a plan. Would be great if it was a weekly thing. Seeing as we are tested EVERY monday, lol.

Anyone want to get together Sunday? We can quiz one another, lol. I have to work in the AM but free from 4-7. I am thinking of heading to Barnes and Nobles at the Town center, but I am flexible.

Anyone else on here at Beaches for first term? We have a CRAZY first day!!!!!

IS this the online modual thing Janobia? Also, you said your med term book came with flash cards? I got my dosage calc and med term book but no flash cards:(

Great! Thanks!

Janobia - What department is she in? I work in research. Also, did you and Catherine meet up yesterday? How did it go? I have received 6 of my 13 from Amazon.com. Still neither my med tern or dosage calc book has come in yet! YIKES! I hope they come soon!
