    Sick to stomach before each shift

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the anxiety comes from worrying I'll get a horrible assignment (7 patients, two admissions right off the bat, etc.). The anxiety is extra elevated after a weekend off and not as bad if I know...

    What!?!?!?!

    noyesno replied to tmartin83's topic in General Nursing

    People on my floor forget to scan the fluids all the time. As long as they hung the correct fluid at the correct rate, it's no cause for freak out. It is a tad annoying because it's hard to enter the...

    What a difference a year makes

    noyesno replied to Do-over's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot! I'm 5 months in and discouraged at times. I look forward to increased competence. It's been a "two steps forward, one step back" kind of learning...

    noyesno replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just finished my 20th week. Been on my own for a while. Still overwhelmed at times and often wondering what I've got myself into. Celebrating every shift my patients and I survive... How are you...

    Breaks

    noyesno replied to TMB RN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same way. Leaving on time>getting full break. I hate that getting a full break means getting behind in work/charting. :down: :down: :down:

    noyesno replied to sbostonRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your calories in>your calories out. Keep a food journal. Write down exactly what you eat. Add up the calories. Utilize the Harris Benedict Equation to determine your caloric needs:...

    Do you shower right after your shift?

    noyesno replied to CharlieTaco's topic in General Nursing

    I strip down, wash my hands, and eat ice cream in my underwear. No shower until after my workout the next

    Is it like this everywhere?

    noyesno replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    I get the sick feeling on the way to work. The same feeling I got on the first day of kindergarten. I'm only 4 months in and was hoping the feeling would subside with time. Looks like you're 4 years...

    Ortho/Neuro

    noyesno replied to ymaudy's topic in General Nursing

    I started on an ortho/neuro/trauma floor 15 weeks and 3 days ago and I think it's a good floor to start out on. It's really busy and the patient turn around is really quick (lots of admissions and...

    Held Coreg w/ BP of 100/55

    noyesno posted a topic in General Nursing

    [New grad here. Ortho/Neuro/Trauma floor.] I held Coreg yesterday and I'm thinking I should have probably called the MD instead to see if the dose should be adjusted or if he wanted it held or not....

    Held Coreg w/ BP of 100/55

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Great responses. Thanks everyone. Our docs rarely give parameters and the nurses on our floor hold BP medications all the time without consulting the docs. This is something I do not feel comfortable...

    is 3rd shift inevitable for new nurses?

    noyesno replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in General Nursing

    On my floor, the new grads are not put on the night shift because there are less people around to help out/go to with

    Does your hospital have a prayer or some other inspirational message overhead?

    noyesno replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    We have one every morning. It sounds kind of creepy because the lady says it really softly in this hypnotic voice. You wonder if you're hearing

    How to get faster at med pass

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I just explain the ones they are not familiar with and give a pretty brief description (it's name and what it's for). Nothing lengthy

    1st day on my own!!

    noyesno replied to erialva's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I go on my own soon and I'm nervous. Time management is something I struggle with too, I'm worried about racking up too much OT. Being a new grad is stressful.
