  1. Any hints on organizing patient info?

  2. New grad, 1st med error...looking for advice & encouragement

    juststartinout replied to wendysu84_LPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't beat yourself up over it. I think everyone makes med errors starting out I know I did, and honestly an extra dose of klonopin probably gave the resident the best night of rest he or she had had...

  3. Surviving orientation...

    juststartinout replied to beckster_01's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like you're doing a good job to me. You want to be hands on and get into work, keep it up. You may feel a bit claustrophobic with you preceptor around, but remember this *won't* last...

    AfrocentricRN, Thanx for the insight on nurse patient ratios. The facility i work at now is already chronically understaffed, and in my next position i want to make sure that doesn't happen...

  6. Peers critical of my new grad job choice

    juststartinout replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm a new grad, too. During nursing school i worked at a rehab hospital, and they picked me up after i graduated. I looked for a job in a hospital, but guess what? No one was hiring lol. So, I took...

  10. 3rd night and very discouraged

    juststartinout replied to imanurse4u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That sounds like a very poor preceptor. Stay encouraged, you made it through nursing school. Now it's time for a different type of learning. On top of that you found a job. It's going to be hard,...

    juststartinout posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi all, I was taking care of a pt last night. During a normal round i noticed that the patient felt really warm to the touch so i took the pt's temp. The temp was 104! I already gave some...

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

    Thanx you both for the insight and wisdom provided. I think coming out of nursing school, that you're instilled with a sense of solving every problem while you're there. This experience provided me...

  13. How do you get that CONFIDENCE

    juststartinout replied to anewday's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Give yourself time to learn and grow as a professional. I'm a new grad two months on the job. I learn something new every time I come in. It's hard going at first (I only had 3 weeks orientation),...

  14. Been an RN for 6 months..why do I still dread giving report?

    juststartinout replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I related to the feeling of dreading to give report! I loved the advice on this forum! Thanx for the insight. I'm a new nurse and sometimes i feel like the certain other nurses do give me a hard...

  17. CNA experience

    juststartinout replied to seek4hope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Though I never got to be a cna, I did become a nurse tech after my first clinical rotation. In this economy it's pretty much the only reason I have a job now. By getting your foot in the door you're...

    juststartinout replied to Lola77's topic in Rehabilitation

    Thank you all so much for the insight into rehab nursing! :) Im a brand new graduate, and I'm going to be working in a subacute rehab facility. I'd gotten the "too smart for that go into ICU" speech...
