  1. suspended for doing the right thing...

    tsm007 replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But that is where you are wrong. Go reread the thread and seriously do a search on type 1 diabetes and eating disorders. Nobody is trying to pick on anybody. It is an honest mistake, but saying you're...

  2. suspended for doing the right thing...

    tsm007 replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Edited because I'm too crabby tonight to be posting

  3. suspended for doing the right thing...

    tsm007 replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree and I do not think this was suspension

  4. Stressed and Anxious New Grad

    tsm007 replied to NewMSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I totally feel for you. You still have a job so you must be doing somethings right :). I just was told that I wasn't working out on my unit so you're one step up from me. I've decided that I'm...

  5. suspended for doing the right thing...

    tsm007 replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally agree with this. I have not one, but two children that have type 1 diabetes! I am constantly astonished how ignorant most nurses are about type 1 diabetes. I would have been livid as a...

  6. Fired now what

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you. I may still have an opportunity to transfer to a different department. I'm supposed to call back tomorrow to see if that can be worked out, but I've had such a bad experience with this...

  7. Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    tsm007 replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Work. Most definitely work. School has always been something I am good at and therefore naturally confident in. I'm a new RN so until I get my nursing confidence built up I'm going to have to vote for...

  8. moving across state after graduation?

    tsm007 replied to Portlandsun's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You don't have to get licensed in the state you live in. If you know where you want to move you could just apply for licensure in that state in the first place. You can test in Kentucky even if you...

  9. Another feeling stupid thread... Need encouragement

    tsm007 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am so mad at myself. I have beating myself up all weekend. My husband has to be sick of me saying the same things over and over again. I hate being new! I hate it. I am a brand new nurse. Graduated...

  10. Currently LPN, so can I get into Western Gov Online? Or do I need RN to start?

    tsm007 replied to Orangeman4's topic in Western Governors University

    So far only in Utah, Florida, Indiana, California, and Texas. If you are in Washington I think that'd be next to impossible to

  11. Critical thinking? How do you define it?

    tsm007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Brand new nurse, but finding that this seems to be a catch phrase for nurses and finding it a tad frustrating. Everything is labeled critical thinking. Some of this prioritization is personal...

  12. Critical thinking? How do you define it?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good idea. You know I'm going to start writing some of these ideas down and will give my feedback on orientation at my next eval. I think just having a day on the floor with a simulation that...

  13. Another feeling stupid thread... Need encouragement

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks. I wish my coworkers and management felt the same way. Apparently they do not usually hire new grads on my floor. I am really trying. It's been a hard month. I can feel I'm under a microscope...

  14. Critical thinking? How do you define it?

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    In my case I feel like the preceptor is attempting to "spoon feed" me things that I wish she would just let me do somethings myself so I can figure it out. I think she thinks I'm incompetent. Things...

  15. Struggling as a new nurse :'-(

    tsm007 replied to Lou7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Struggling too, but just putting one foot in front of the other. I tell myself each day I check off is one more day experience I have under my belt. I don't have any wonderful advice yet because I'm...

  16. Why can't i get a job???? US RN

    tsm007 replied to MKIVSupraRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it depends on where you live? I didn't any problem finding a job. I was shocked. Almost every place I applied called me back. I have read so many posts here about difficulty finding jobs that...

  17. PLEASE HELP! fired/demoted RN still on orientation

    tsm007 replied to jrobbin44's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I had some wonderful advice. I can relate to your post in a lot of ways. All I have to offer is your not alone. I am also in orientation and not getting things quick enough. It's really hard...

  18. whats for lunch

    tsm007 replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    2 protein bars and a greek yogurt. Okay, just kidding, but that was today's lunch. Usually I've been going with Lean Cuisine or left overs from

  19. Management and modified duty

    tsm007 replied to TXcatcher's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can you stand and do tele monitors? When I was in the military I had a back issue and was stuck standing/sitting watch to accommodate. I would rotate sitting with standing and stretching. I'd talk to...

  20. Novice nurse no-nos

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    That was awesome! I will add that I am on a specialty floor (OB) which is why I didn't do a full head to toe. I had seen other nurses skip stuff (not here but other facilities) and that's why I...

  21. Novice nurse no-nos

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    That's great advice too. I hadn't thought about it from that perspective.

  22. Novice nurse no-nos

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    That is one thing that is driving me nuts! There policies are hard to access. They're not on the intranet. You have to physically go find them and they don't have crystal clear policies on lots of...

  23. Day shift vs. night shift

    tsm007 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait to move to night shift for ALL of those reasons! Well except the dying

  24. Novice nurse no-nos

    tsm007 replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    No med mistakes. I did make some assessment mistakes - I was not smooth and missed some questions I should have been asking. I forgot to ask things like headaches, bowel movements, and a more detailed...

  25. Urgent Csection

    tsm007 replied to Tink1987's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a new nurse (eventually I'll stop saying that), but since I'm new I'm making mistakes that are embarrassing. It sounds like you are feeling embarrassed to face your coworkers. Shake it off. Take...
