  9. feeling like a failure (kinda long)

    I have been a nurse for almost 7 years with most of my experience being in med-surg, just spent the last year in ER. I started on night shift and begged to be put on days. My wish came true, but...

  12. Blood admin question

    It is in our hospital's written policy that the final check by 2 RNs be done at the bedside so that the pt's armband can be used as one of the final identifiers. I have never spiked a bag of blood at...

  16. My achy breaky feet!

    My chiropractor suggested changing shoes for each shift if you work several in a row. He says it takes at least 24 hours after a 12 hour shift for the cushion to build back up in your shoes. I tried...
  17. Made an error :'( unable to move on

    Please do not continue to beat yourself up about this! You made an honest mistake and you learned from that mistake. Now pick yourself up, brush yourself off and get back to work with your head held...
  18. Struggling on a Med-Surge Floor

    If you work days, you may want to consider switching to nights. Although nights are busy also, you will have it a little slower and it will give you a chance to master some time management skills....

    Hopefully the feelings you are having will ease up with time. I work at the hospital where my dad died and for a while everytime I had to transfer someone from ED to CCU I would get some of the same...
  20. New nurse miserable at new job

    O how I remember feeling just like you do now!! I left my first job for months just about in tears! I use to think "if this is what nursing is all about, I don't want ANY part of it". Hang in...
