pseudomonas

Do you have any links for this research? I would like to look into this. Or at least point me in the right direction?

Are you joking?

You're in my thoughts, Esme! I always read your posts when I'm looking at a thread because you always contribute insightful responses. Glad to hear you're doing better!

Take frequent exercise breaks. It can be something small like sitting in your chair and bicycling your legs like you're riding a bike.

My jaw dropped reading this. You can't make this stuff up! Sadly, the descriptions of abuse and neglect in this thread while disturbing aren't as surprising to me as some of the downright bizarre behaviors in these stories. Camping out in the waiting room, having sex on the floor, entire family infested with lice?!

THIS. Also, I think you're being too hard on yourself and lack confidence in your knowledge and skills. With only two years of experience, of course you aren't as competent as you will be as you continue to grow professionally. Particularly considering you've entered a different area of nursing. Plus, if you were so terrible at your job, wouldn't you have been spoken to by a supervisor regarding your performance, written up, or fired by now? :) Learn from your mistakes, and keep your head up. Try not to be too hard on yourself. I'm a nursing student, and I've struggled with confidence and being too critical of myself. I think these issues are more common in nursing students and newer nurses than realized because many people keep their concerns and self-doubt to themselves. Good luck to you.
