SunshineDaisy ASN, RN

I am doing 11 classes! I had already taken patho, so got to skip that one! If I'd stuck it out in stats I could have skipped that too

It's a process, learning what the new tummy can tolerate and whatnot. Weight loss surgery is no joke! You have to be really mentally prepared for it.

Well, I'm tolerating it, just having a hard time getting it all in! I literally have to sip all day long :/ The vitamins, on the other hand, did not settle well with my new tummy

That's hilarious HouTx!*L* I, too, enjoy nights! Not many drs around, no admin around, and as others said, the staff tend to have more team work! I oriented on days for 5 weeks, then moved to nights. Gave me a chance to meet all the drs and such. I d...

Thanks! You'll be there soon enough!

Thanks! they pulled the drain yesterday, thank God! That thing was such a pain! Thursday the picc line will be pulled if I am tolerating my protein shakes (blech) and getting enough water in. I was supposed to start back this coming Sat, but dr said ...

AND, I got cleared to go back to work soon, so there's that.

Oh, I hated that pamphlet! It was hard fitting so much info on such a small area! As for extra time...I can spend time with the family...sleep...read something other than school stuff...craft...

OMG, 2 classes left! Started Trends today! And I somehow managed to get a 100% on that dumb PPT that I thought sucked :/ Also got my email to apply for graduation and stuff. Eek, it's getting close!

New grad...first job is at a hospital on a med surge/oncology floor. I got 8 weeks orientation. 5 weeks on days and 3 on nights.

I'm glad my work is being understanding! I asked for an extra week off, she put it on the calendar but also wants to know what the dr says next week when i can return to full duty. If I had known this was going to happen I don't know that I'd have ha...

The Organizational Values PPT in the Leadership class. I didn't tell her I was having surgery, didn't want that to be an excuse or anything, ya know? I'm even home with a picc line and TPN, 18 hrs a day for the next week*sigh* this did not go as plan...

So, I think I turned in a subpar powerpoint this week. This whole week has sucked! Had some complications from surgery, landing me in the hospital till Thursday. Had to do my first DQ half drugged from the hospital Ah well, one more week of this jun...

Ugh, those DQ's! I, too, thought it sucked to do all that work for 5 points :/

Thanks! I am SO nervous!

Oh goodness, I really disliked the CLC for Ethics! I found out how very badly some classmates can write! I wondered how they passed their previous classes :/

I'm still skerred of capstone!!! I'm also not looking forward to next week. I'm having surgery on the 7th, so will have to do stuff while recovering. Fun!

On how to differentiate the different things central monitoring calls us with? We get a lot of patients on our floor with telemetry monitors. We'll get calls and they say things likes "The pt in rm 888 had 11 beats of SVT with a HR of 134 unsustained...

This is what I bring: Clipboard Pens Highlighter Stethoscope Pen light Bandage scissors Post it notes I bring a bag and in it I always have Tylenol, snacks, extra pens, tampons and such, my drink and wallet. I always have tape, flushes and alcohol pa...

Right? Maybe quick was the wrong word But yeah, we always go and do a vitals check when they call, to make sure they are stable.

I'm not liking work, at all. I work on an oncology/med surge floor...more med surge than oncology. Anyways. I have anxiety just about every night before work! I have been there for 4 months, 2 months on my own. I have already been charge nurse about ...

I am going to stick it out for as long as I can. I, too, live 5 minutes from here...ahh, wish I knew this stuff beforehand And thanks guys, just feels good to vent sometimes!

I have been on my floor for 4 months and am impatiently waiting my one year so I can move. I work on an oncology/med surge floor. I love my coworkers, can't say the same about anyone else though. The hospital does not take care of the staff at all, a...

I can't transfer until I have been there a year And no, the LPN takes on a full load, the RNs just do what she can't. And this makes no sense to me, but she can do and chart assessments (but not if she admits a new pt, an RN has to do the initial as...

Oh girlfriend...Last night was HORRIBLE! It was me, an LPN and a CNA. That was it!!! We had 12 patients, 3 of who needed blood transfusions! I ended up breaking down about 2 hours into the shift. How can they expect a new nurse to take care of 6 pati...
