  2. New rehab nurse with no experience

    tellis6645 replied to ctbui's topic in Rehabilitation

    You bring back memories! It comes with time. There were some days in the first two weeks on my own where I was crying in the med room and conteplating quitting. It was very overwhelming. 1am isnt that...

  3. New to LTC, does signing off MD orders mean something different here?

    tellis6645 replied to auntiedebe's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Obviously every facility is different! At my facility if you take the order, you take care of it. If our manager takes an order from the doctors, she is the one to make sure its carried out. I have on...

  4. Up-credentialing: Why the move to the BSN is inevitable.

    tellis6645 replied to chuckster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree that BSN is going to be the new normal. This is because there are just more and more nurses out there looking for work. Extra education never hurts. Im an ADN right now, but looking forward to...

  5. New grad too stressed about the job- Is this normal?

    tellis6645 replied to sail2boat2002's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    When I first started nursing I went home in tears more often then not. I was very stressed out. I originally started in LTC on days 7-3. After 6 weeks I transfered to subactue nights (what I was...

  6. Did I miss something?

    tellis6645 replied to MimiLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  7. Just graduated from LPN, how soon should I start RN bridge?

    tellis6645 replied to yolandalpn's topic in LPN to RN

    I would work as an LPN for a few months to a year first. This gives the you chance to pay down some of the debt (after all the longer your debt sits on credit cards, the more you owe). The most...

  8. We need to advocate for better mental health

    tellis6645 replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    I was watching CNN when all this was happening and they had Dr. Phil on there. He was saying.. "If you know anybody who might seem to be mentally unstable, please call your local law enforcement, they...

  9. How do you think like a nurse?

    tellis6645 replied to Born2Care4All's topic in General Students

    I really struggled with this in nursing school and I ended up failing out of the program because of it. I got my LPN and working as a nurse for a year before I went back in. The class I failed the...

  10. Too soon to feel burnt out of LTC?

    tellis6645 replied to Isitpossible's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked days in LTC straight out of school and it almost killed me. I felt the same way you sound. I think the biggest thing that I had trouble with was the fact of safety. There just wasnt enough...
