I bought pizza for the family and the biggest bag of dog food for my mastiff!

Feeling the same way. I am still in training right not if that what you want to call it. I do all the med pass and charting while she sits behind a desk. I cry to work and when I go home because I am so over whelmed i am afraid I did something wrong or forgot something.

So I graduated in Sept of 2012 and got my licence in Nov 2012. I started my first job as a nurse 2 weeks ago. When I went into nursing it was for a purely selfish reason. I love the feeling of knowing I help people. I enjoy comforting people and making their days just a little brighter. Thats why I went into nursing. With my new job at a LTC facility, We get 16-20 pts a nurse, I thought I would be doing this. During my first walk through of the facility EVERYONE was so nice and seemed helpful. I was told I would get 4 weeks of OR. She made it perfectly clear that is all the time I would get so don't ask for more. I went for my first day of OR and had no clue what to expect. The person who I was following was really nice. The first morning med pull (8ish) she handed me the pills and directed me at who was who. By the second med pull ( 10ish) I was on my own. I had no training on their computer for med pull and had no idea who was who! She said I did a great job and had me pull meds for the day and the next 3 days by my self. I was so over whelmed!! When I asked for help she said its okay to ask I am here to help but would groan when she had to get up from the desk. She then at the end of the shift told me I was not charting and going to get into trouble. I had no clue how to chart in their system!! Plus I though you did head to toe assessments on every one and charted it. But here you only chart on the PT who have UTIs, Infections, who have fallen with in a week, a new admission or getting skilled therapy. They also want certain info for each one. They are not all the same. Again I am very over whelmed. I feel like I spent my whole time running around throwing pills at people and not doing what I wanted. Which was to get to know them and helping them. Oh and if a Aides don't answer the light within 6 mins the manager yells at you, the nurse for not keeping track of the aides. ( Yes I got yelled at!) This week my 3rd week I have to go to a different floor with different rules and policies because everyone has to float between the two. I feel so over whelmed and cried every day to work and home. Today is my day off and I have to go back tomorrow and just want to cry because its so much to take in. Does this get better!? What can I do???? Thanks in advance for the advice and letting me vent.

I called my instructor today who stated that the syllabus could not be changed. That it is what it is. I am searching google but not finding what I am looking for. This is just beyond frustrating. I want to learn how to do this. I don't want to copy some one stuff and get a grade. When I say she just handed us it and said do it, she did. I have no start point no help sheet nothing.

With all due respect I never once asked for any one to write my paper for me. Not once. I was asking for guidance. Second I am finding that my school lacks in the teacher department. We have learned nothing so far on writing a care plan or case study. My class is in a panic its not just me. Although most have bought books at different stores for their own use I can't afford it. I was given a scenario and told to do a case study no fill in the blanks or lectures. I thought as nurses I didn't have to say it but if you are going to leave rude comments or be mean don't post. I am just looking for help not to be treated like a idot.

I have a care plan due this week. I know its short notice but the teacher told us it was due the last week of class but the syllabus states this week so I want to be safe then sorry. I have have no clue what I am doing. When I asked the instructor How to do these I was told to get a book. I am strapped for cash and on the wait list at the library thus I am turning to you for help. It has to have 3 nursing diagnoses and be from NANDA. For each diagnosis must have objective and subjective data for a assesment and mds sheets, short and long term goals and out comes and 3 interventions with rationales for each one. each must have a holistic intervetion and rational too.
