Most people think I'm very introverted and shy outside of work. I hated clinicals during school with all the new people every single day and none of the nurses wanted to teach you. It's just very hard getting through school like that. But once you are on your own floor it will get much better. You can't be shy with your pts because then your pts will feel shy with you and hold back information. Most of the time you need to know personal information and you need the truth. I always tell my new grads once they do a few suppositories and enemas they won't be shy anymore.

Thanks for the infiormaton

That's a scary thought

I know when I first graduated from nursing school i had a 12 week internship when I started my job. As I'm thinking about going back to school I'm thinking back on my first year as a nurse and how hard it was. I'm just curious how much training most employers give. Thanks for the input guys.

I have asked the same question but unable to find an answer

Roll your sleeves up

That just seems like so much time. I'm worried about the job market once i get done. It's hard finding a job as a new grad as a RN. Will it be the same for NP?

Our pts are scanned when their bs is checked so i just have to wait until its downloaded into the system. Plus our pts usually know what their bs was and when it was checked and I always check with the pt. I think it's stupid to have a double check on insulin, that's hardly the most deadly drug I give in a day, but you gotta follow rules.

I work at medical city PCU and u will be fine. Just ask lots of questions and do the best you can.

Im about to go back to school and I was told by the school that I will take 2 1/2 -3 years full time and 3 1/2 -4 years part time. That just seems like forever to me. Any advice on how much time school is really going to take up? Thanks guys
