    Well

  2. heartbroken needed to vent

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to seekerskeeter's topic in General Nursing

    Your story breaks my heart. I've experienced what you have and so have so many of my nursing friends. Next, time this happens ( and it will) ask for another preceptor, another unit, or what ever you...

  4. Pyxis (almost) nightmares. PLEASE be careful.

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to dudette10's topic in Patient Medications

    Thank you. I almost did the same thing. Right patient, wrong medication. I was looking for something and accidently hit sux, thank goodness I caught myself before hitting the remove button. When ever...

  7. Really sad :(

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to NOLAmommy3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I always wanted to do Mother Baby and that has always been my dream job. However, I got offered a ICU job and I love it. Is it my passion? No, but I'm learning a ton, so that after I get my year...

  10. Do you think it is healthy to stay in nursing when it exacerbates anxiety?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks for all the support. My plan is to go to nights then eventually part time while I finish RN-BSN-msn. I still want to give post-partum a try before leaving bedside then I'll probably want to...

    I completly understand. I took a mental health day this week and got docuumentation from my doctor. MHD are needed every once in a

  12. Experienced Nurses Should Leave Legacies to New Nurses

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to jasnms's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, what a beautiful post. For me, nursing is a calling. I agree that we all need to build a good foundation in new nurses. Nurses complain so much about the new nurses but take a look at who we are...

  13. No bicarb for met. acidosis?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Had a pt. with ph of 7.0 and HCO3 of 5.... and ketones +4. I asked the doc, why pt. isn't on bicarb and he mentioned something about organic ketones breaking down into sodium bicarb. Has anyone ever...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread was meant to be a lighthearted story that other nurses may or may not relate to. You are taking this thread waaaay to seriously. I highly doubt that anyone will be skipping lines when on...

  18. New Nurse/Old Attitude

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Another part of the problem is that preceptors don't want to teach. Often preceptors are forced to precept without any training. This is absurb. I believe this sets up the new nurse for failure. If...

  19. New Nurse/Old Attitude

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unfortunately, these kind of scenarios are all too common in nursing. I've seen and experience my fair share of "mean" preceptors and preceptors that were excellent teachers and knew how to talk to...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So funny you mention this but I thought wearing a certain scrub set made my shift hell, because every time I wore it things would go bad. I just never wanted to admit it, being in denial. Once again,...

  21. Scheduling - 6 days on, 8 days off

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Lovelymo79's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like easy burnout to me. You're probably want to sleep the first two days off. Does your unit require any set amt. of weekends to be worked? My job is self schedule as well but days have to...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not but in my short 6 years of nursing, it never fails. Friday the 13th was a breeze for me BTW.... don't believe in that at

  23. Want out of bedside... not sure to stay for experience or leave now

    OnlybyHisgraceRN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm so over the politics, drama, and cattiness I've seen in bedside. Tired of staffing, low morale, and disrespect between nurses. Tired of nurses eating their young and young eating the old. Tired of...

  24. This is EXACTLY why I don't like taking Verbal orders

    OnlybyHisgraceRN posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I notify the doc of a pt. with increasingly high B/P. I bring the chart to the doc to write the order. He tells me to take a verbal. He tells me the order and I have a very hard time understanding due...
