DysrhythmiaRN

I too am working as a new grad on tele. It gets very busy with discharges and admissions. I think I get the most stressed with admissions. With time it gets better. I write down the meds at beginning of shift so I won't be looking them up every time,...

I agree, you should consider working night shift if you can, then transfer to L&D if thats where your interest is. I am a new grad on tele and 2nd guessed myself about working there at first. Glad i took the night shift, day shift seems so hectic...

I had 3 by end of second week. Had to do a discharge and admission which was real stressful. I'm in my 4th week and still don't fully understand the entire process. It takes time, i get 12 weeks so hope il get it by then. What is cdu? and how long is...

Thats great you received 6 months. I'm currently on orientation for 12 weeks, which is great too. I feel nervous and overwhelmed when going to work. Learning everything new and having such responsibility. Anybody have tips??

Poor guy, those pants are so last year

hmm, this looks about right

Yes, your on the naughty list, don't look so surprised.

Since when has eating cookies, drinking hot coco and eggnog become a health concern???

What do you mean I have to cut my sugar?

Haven't you ever seen an elf before?

You look like you've seen an elf

I usually just write open, meaning im open to what they offer

Good post, I agree, Kaplan is great with strategies, it really helped me with the nclex. I also felt their questions were close to the nclex type. I heard good things about hurst but couldn't due to cost so i did saunders comprehensive for content.

I get so fed up when i hear about nurses being nasty to newbies! It is so annoying, they were once newbies too and they should remember that. If they dont want to help then they should just stay quiet rather than being rude. I feel that nurses should...

Las Cruces, there are two hospitals that are hiring

Wow you guys are really into this thanksgiving potluck

I know of people starting out in ICU in las cruces.I think most got them because they have already worked there, know someone, or precepted there. So try to request for ICU if you can to increase your chances. Also depending on how many nurses are ne...

Lose weight, yea right, I wish, I gained weight from all the stress. I didn't have time to eat at times during school, clinicals, and work but then I would get home and stuff my face.

Hang in there, it is normal to feel self doubt. I'm a new grad and still feel that way from time to time. Remind yourself why you got into this field. Don't think about what others will think of you, I know its hard, especially with certain instructo...

Just remember to breathe, take deep breaths, pray, think positive and think to yourself you will pass. Listen to music that relaxes you on your way there. Don't review any material day of test. I remember my hand shaking as i was getting my fingerpri...

Maybe list your critical thinking skills, time management, medication administration, discharge planning and patient education, assessments and caring for patients using nursing process. Also if you have taken any dysrhythmia courses/training. I dont...

1) No it does not mean you will get either more or less SATA questions, the second time i took mine i had fewer SATA. Questions will be random, you will not get the same questions again. I also had fewer math questions. You just never know what your ...

How long has it been? Mine took about a week. Good luck to you.

Go for your RN. I passed mine on my second try. I did about 3,000 + questions with saunders comprehensive review (CD) and if you have time read through some chapters, it may help, especially the area you feel you need more work on. I also took free c...
