  1. I am very embarrassed... my work day yesterday.

    acgemt replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It only goes to show that you are human, and that you are trying your very hardest and best. It is definitely better to get all your feelings out than have them bottled up

  2. New nurse scared to talk to doctors!!

    acgemt replied to cparrish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know what you mean. I hate talking to the doctors...especially over the phone, and most of the time I wind up with thte ones with heavy accents that I can barely understand...I think it just takes...

  3. I got to...

    acgemt replied to Aneroo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats!! I remember watching adenosine being pushed, and I think my heart stopped just as long as the patients did until the heart rate came back. I hate that long

  4. others' perception of us

    acgemt replied to wanda06211's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, I am very impressed. I would have thought he would win himself restraints during the whole ripping out the IV thing. I don't know what I would have done in that situation...you seem to really...

  5. Had a huge scare at work today-blood...

    acgemt replied to christvs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wish I could say something to help you feel better. At least you are taking the necessary steps to protect yourself (medications, incident report, etc). I hope that everything works out for the...

    acgemt replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I replied to this thread a couple weeks ago, and now I can honestly say that I have had it happen to my patient. He came in this morning, and while we were doing CPR, giving meds, etc, we heard...

  8. Toughness of nursing school

    acgemt replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated in May. I don't think nursing school is necessarily "tough". It is more that the educators are making sure that we learn and do all that we can effectively in order to graduate and...

  9. Call light question-Please help...(m)

    acgemt replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    They should have their call light in place. Even if they are pleasantly confused, it is still a responsibility to re-orient them and educate them on the call light and asking for

  10. Children and career?

    acgemt replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you able to go to school for your masters on a part-time basis, or take online classes? That way you would at least have more time at home for your baby. You have plenty of time to be a NP...you...

  11. I'm scared of physical exam....

    acgemt replied to livtek's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. Family Suctioning Patient?

    acgemt replied to jack8960's topic in Pulmonary

    I would personally feel uncomfortable letting a family member do that to their loved one, even if they do know how to do it. Becuase what it all boils down to is that if something were to happen to...

  13. I'm scared of physical exam....

    acgemt replied to livtek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That should make absolutely no difference. I had hip surgery in jan of 2002, and started working at a hospital that july. The occupational health nurse doing my physical gave me a couple arrogant...

  14. What to do about 2 "possible" jobs

    acgemt replied to JentheRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I was deciding between two job offers, I just had to go with my gut. Of course there were benefits and draawbacks to each place, but if I had to decide in 2 seconds which one I were to pick, the...

  17. This was a first: a nursing student approached me about my patient

    acgemt replied to christvs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My first week of orientation (about a month ago) there was a group of nursing students in the ER doing clinicals. I had this patient, and was about to do an EKG, and there was a nursing student...

  18. Need Advice!

    acgemt replied to peechy79's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I graduated nursing school this past May. I remember the last semester, we were required to do a background check form (I'm in Maryland) that became a requirement because of hospital clinicals. I...

  19. Family Witnessing Code Activities

    acgemt replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    Its a difficult situation. I personally would not want to watch my parents or anyone I know be in cardiac arrest and watch someone pump on their chest. However, I will say that I think it is a good...

  20. Can you work part time as a graduate nurse?

    acgemt replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question...I am sure that there are places that allow part time work for new grads. I am a new grad and am in my 6th week of orientation in a ER. Thinking to your question though, I can...
