Hi I'm a working nurse.. and I am so grateful to have a job.. I tried med Surg, psych and tele.. but what I really want is to do counseling or teaching.. I am great in making patients feel good and better by talking to them, most of them said that I ...

Haven't really thought about palliative care.. I'll look into it.. Thanks so much

i had to quit coz of my preceptor.. we're on the same boat ride.. she made my orientation a living hell.. never learned a thing from her.. she made me so anxious i felt like vomiting all the time.. my brain couldn't function with her. i was so scared...

I too just resigned after a couple of weeks due to being treated badly by my preceptor.. i guess nurses do eat their young. hopefully we could get another job

from a psychrn to med surg I feel like I'm drowning.. I just want to punch my self in the face too frustrated. wish you both luck hopefully u guys will do better.. coz I failed

I'm new too and I feel like I'm drowning and dying every single day.. I care for 5 pt everyday and the sucky part is that I still et transfers urgh

being new to a job that you have no experience at all is already hard and stressful enough.. but working with people who's downright mean and unprofessional?? OMG I hate them thats all I can say.. I just ignore them even though I know that they talk ...

Thank you so much Esme.. Yep a year then I'm out.. I'm hoping to find a hospital were I can work for a long time.. until I retire.. I want to be able to say I've been working here for 35 years now and I love it! Hehe

Welcome to healthcare? Seriously is this how nurses act? I was told before I entered the said profession that nurses are professional.. it's just surprising that's all.

I don't say much at work and I try to be really nice and friendly.. although I'm stressed out I try to keep my attitude in check. so I don't think I'm sending of negative vibes or energy towered them.. they react as if I killed a patient when I don't...

I get super anxious because of my job. I'm new and med surg floor scares me a lot. although I try my best. I'm too slow compared to the old employees.. I know the prob is that I have limited knowledge when it comes to med surg and the solution us to ...

a mont of orientation and still not able to finish everything on time.. I try my best everyday at work I really do, but I always fallhort. I'm so ashamed and frustrated already.. today my brain just stoped functioning literally I couldn't think strai...

I did that once. I asked my preceptor about something.. She asked me a question in front if my pt. I told her I was meaning to ask her about it but never had an opportunity because I was so busy. she did not answer my question. Made me look dumb in f...

I graduated 8 years ago but de to personal issues I was unable to work until recently.. I know it's a blessing but with what I'm going through right now feels like it's not..

no I'm still not on my own.. And my preceptor is not pretty happy with me.. sucks being a new grad like employee when you graduated 8 years ago. I feel like crying I'm so frustrated and disappointed with my self

im 24 years old, fairly young, my first job was in a psych hops. worked there for 3 years and i loved it. after a little while i decided to take the med surg route, got hired in a hospital kinda quick actually.. (what a blessing) anyways, after 3 mon...

the one who trained me after 6 weeks of orientation she's expecting me to work at her level.. she's been working for 5 years.. mine will take a while because I don't have any med surg experience.. I just feel so disheartened and I have no one to talk...

hope i make it though.. med surg is killing me..

yeah thats what I'm planning to do.. stick it out for a year then leave

This is my 6th wk orienting.. I'm new to med surg no exp whatsoever so compared to the other nurses on the floor I'm slow.. I was so excited when I got the job but now I'm having doubts.. I feel so badly preceptor makes me feel that I'm dumb because ...

hello RNs... can you please tell me what diseases do I need to study and familiarize myself with that alot of you nurses encounter on a daily basis on the med surg floor.. the most common ones.. thank you so much for the big help

hello my fellow nurses.. i will be starting my first day of orientation.. first week of may.. I'm not a new grad but i've never had any med surg experience.. heck i don't even know how to put an IV or a catheter.. sad huh? that's why I'm so freakin' ...

in my batch.. I'm the only psych nurse... psych is not for everybody.. I've seen a lot of nurses who after working for a week quits and not because they found another job, but because they couldn't handle it.. so if it is your calling.. you go for it...

they might ask you some questions about medications.. in our hops, common meds that we use are seroquel, risperdal, lithium, temazepam, haldol, and abilify.. there's more but i don't want to overload you.. also they might ask you like what you would ...

i got hired in a hospital that i really really like.. been applying there since 2009.. finally landed a part time position.. I'm currently working in a small hospital, due to conflict of schedules, i decided to change my status here at my current job...
