Thank you all so much. Yes my English is my second language and most of the times I will double check my writing because I know that i make a lot of mistakes in my writing. Anyway the medication is K-dur (potassium cloride). My pt is totally fine depite he has chronic diarrhea for a long time. Thank for the adivces. Next time I will remember Doctor orders first. I will go through them to see which one is Stat, and if there aren't any I will do what is important first.

Hello Everybody. I would like to hear you advice as a nurse. I am a new grade. I just got this job about 5months now but it is just a per-diem position. Yesterday I got a bunch of new orders from Dr from 6 different pt. Dr wrote an orders and left around noon 1:30pm. I have to finish my afternoon med. and by the time i done with my med, i have to do the change shift report. than i start to write the orders. and by the time finish transcribing the orders it is around 5 o'clock already. I saw an order said give XYZ medication now. So i wrote an order at 5 pm when the medication order wrote since 1:30pm. Am I in trouble? As a new nurse, i am terrifying everyday. I go to work early and leave work late. By the time i get home I still thinking about my work. I afraid that i miss something. Some people are not really like new nurses because those people think that new nurses don't know what they are doing. I Really appreciate for all the reply. Thank you.

Can you please help me think about my condition? I got paid 22/hr as per-diem LPN. Last week i worked double shift which is 17 hours. I jst checked my paycheck at the moment and i saw i got 24.50/hr for my double shift. I am wondering that is working double we got paid double too or what? I really confuse right now. is it per-diem and full time get paid for double shift differently? Please help me Thank you so much

Thank you everybody for the advices. I no a lot of new nurses have been bullied and i'm afraid i'm gonna be want of them since i more the kind of person who don't really like to speak up. Can you tell me what is your routine in order to get your job done on time? I understand that yr routine might not fit my routine, but i just want to get some idea so i can prepare myself. Anyway I also wanna be a scrub nurse as well cos you got to see the surgery going on in OR room. After i got my RN will try to find the job like that. totally awesome! thank you again!

Hope I am survive this. and thank you so much
