No, I am in Alabama. It is a floor for after joint surgery, right before they are ready for rehab. Thanks for the advice Deberham! Very helpful!!

Get the app "mini nurse lite". When reading charts, I have that pulled up. It has a section that you can type in the letters and it will tell you what they mean. VERY helpful!

I am a new grad too, and my orientation is Feb 4th. I did come across a paper to organize 5 pts on one paper. I know it will help me out, and I'd be happy to share it with you if you'd like

Thanks y'all!! So much. Just the encouraging words are calming my nerves :)

After like a hip surgery, but before rehab

Have you watched day 4 & 5 yet? I haven't, was wondering what you thought of it if you did.

*Signs and symptoms, not signs answer symptoms

The green tabers book is my BIBLE!!! It even says the signs answer symptoms of the dz, etiology, nursing strategies... The works. Simply amazing.

You can do it, and you will! As far as feeling guilty about ignoring your kids, I felt the same way. But you know what? On my graduation day, when she threw her arms around my neck and said, "Momma, I'm so proud of you", that let me know that not only did she not feel ignored, but she was also glad I became a nurse. And although you feel like you are dumping responsibility on your husband, you may even feel like you are pushing him away. But before you know it, you are going to feel closer than ever to him, and see he has your back and is your rock. My chant I would say to myself that helped me is, "if it was easy, everyone would be a nurse, if it was impossible, noone could be a nurse." It's not easy, but defiantly not impossible. Best of luck to you. But I'm sure you don't need luck

Thank you so much!!

Graduated on Dec 18, and a start my new job on joint camp on Feb 4. Any advice, tips, or anything?

I graduated in Dec, and will be starting my first ever "health care" job on Feb 4th. It is soooo cool to think of how far I have come, and how hard I've worked to become an RN. I cannot WAIT to start working... But I have some fierce jitters. Any advice or pointers? I will be on a joint camp unit. Thank you in advance!!!

AMAZING! Thanks!!!
