  11. (VENT!!!)Tonight I wonder..Why did i choose nursing?

    Document document document! While I'm only a student, it sounds to me that you handled the situation the best you could. To give you peace of mind, make sure you document what you told the patient...

    On a positive note: 1. Thanks for all the rides! Ever since my car was totalled (and of course, I can't afford a new one because I'm in nursing school!) you have all shown what caring and...
  13. How long did you oriented as a new nurse?

    I've heard great things about those residency programs for nurses. If I were ever offered a residency, I would jump at the chance! I read in a nursing journal (forget which one) that new grads who...
