    First 70 days :(

    Adele_Michal7 replied to katiebug92's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh my word. I have been there, and I know how you feel. Don't give up! If you currently aren't using any type of note taking/assessment form to organize your shift, I'd highly suggest you start. Make...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to mznelly's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It will all be OK. Although it was 4 years ago, I remember the few months leading up to my graduation like it was yesterday. It may seem like a bunch of overwhelming events all at once (taking the...

    What do I do? Quit?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to HelenLouise's topic in General Nursing

    Seek psychiatric help. You'll be glad you did; something as simple as talk therapy and a Xanax a day could do

    Bipolar is wrecking my family...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    I completely feel for you and I went through almost the same exact thing you did (eerie similiarities) when I was in nursing school. I didn't read ANY of the other responses so I don't know or care if...

    One Year.... and I am still miserable

    Adele_Michal7 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe someone treated you like this, but don't just take it! Why not tell your unit supervisor or even DNS what was said? Or am I too naiive and would that make it worse? I would have AT...

    Truly, it was awful... and I don't think the BB did anything to help. Worse than that, though, was trying to insert a

    Adele_Michal7 replied to desertnurse222's topic in California Nursing

    My boyfriend lives in SF- has a place in the city- and attends college out there, 2 years left. I would like to move out there eventually, as he may be doing a one year internship after school and we...

    LTCF quick med pass, plus all the other stuff

    Adele_Michal7 replied to destiny100's topic in General Nursing

    Doing a med pass at ANY LTC is a finely tuned art. I have discovered this. I'm still a WIP myself, but doing agency four months after graduating has taught me A LOT, honed my skills, and helped me to...

    What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    This pales in comparison to many of the stories in this forum, but it shocked me, and several seasoned nurses (20+ years experience!) and aides. I was working at my first job in an LTC and had just...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell them, that after careful though and consideration, you have realized that it's not a good fit for you there. The only problem is nursing is a small world and everyone knows...

    How can I stand out w/o burning out?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    It's tough- I myself have a tendency to want to "take it all on." It sounds like a good opportunity, and it's only 2 shifts per month? On call meaning they maty or may not need you, right? Just...

    slow med pass? am I really being unreasonable?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    If there was a game on TV we all wanted to watch I've knocked out a 20 pt pass in about 15 minutes. The patients had to help out a lot - like shout out what they were on and I'd not have to keep...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to inthesky's topic in Psychiatric

    Re: slow med pass? am I really being unreasonable? It does seem slow to me but I'd rather you be slow and right then fast and make med errors. I used to work on a very busy acute psych unit. We...
