It's almost my six month as dialysis nurse but still I feel like I don't know my pt that much. Maybe because I'm just intimidated to my fellow nurse who knows my pt very much than me. Does anyone here have this kind of feeling? pls. help! Yeah I know how to give meds, what to do in case of complications, priming at putting on the pt.. but still I feel I'm missing something. Maybe lack of communication to doctor.. huhu sometimes I'm kind afraid to talk to doctor. Sometimes when I get nervous I tend to forget everthing I mean not everything, it's just arrgh, kinda hard to explain.

Um what are you talking about Keshawn.? That's the first time I hear that problem.

Ouch I feel really stupid today. I can't even apply those things I learn from school specially under pressure. I keep making mistakes. Does anyone here have the same kind of problem? Thanks

Teeth brace :) I'm kinda too old for having brace. Probably my brace makes me look like a kid, hahahahah

Thanks for the reply guys~ , I will have my brace remove soon! :)

2 of my coworker told to me that I look like a big kid... when I asked her she told me she can't explain it. Might be because of my brace that what she said. I'm really confused right now. Are they telling me I'm acting like a kid?

I forgot to clamp the saline line before I start the machine.All left over saline was infused to the pt and the machine was messed up because of the air build up... waaaaaaa i really feel stupid!

I know , specially if some things need to be done fast, I can't remember things!

Does anyone have this kind of problem? thanks

How many Anesthetist are there in OR? 1? 2??

My 3 friend wants to become anesthetist because of salary. I mean yeah the salary is good but how's the job market? How stressful is the job? Right now it's really hard to find a job as an RN without experience. Imagine finding a job as Anesthetist. It went to my mind also that I want to try anesthetist but lets face it,there's too many competition and I don't have an Idea about the job market of anesthetist.. It's easy to say I want to become an anesthetist but hard to earn it..

They didn't report me. My preceptor just gave me a handout about infection control huhu. But will never know..ouchy! haler! ballin!

I put a equipment on the dirty sink, but its not a sterile equipment, I picked up some tourniquet on the floor and put i on the patient table. They told me thats considered a contaminated stuff. I'm not in a Isolation room, I work as Dialysis Nurse.. I'm a nurse not a student nurse...

Does anyone here have a problem like this? Do you guys think they will fire me because of this? Need help!

Sometimes when I'm too nervous I'm afraid to do the procedures, is this normal guys??
