  4. I think I'm going to quit during orientation

    danceyrun replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Do you carry around your stethoscope?

    danceyrun replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    The question is asked again.....what do you chart? What happens if there is an emergency or trauma and your stretch is nowhere near you? I don't understand how you can be so lackadaisical about...

  8. Want advice from experienced oncology RNs

    danceyrun replied to julgard's topic in Oncology

    As others before me have stated, oncology has med-surg all over it! Besides seeing cancers that affect different body parts, you will also see that cancer treatments affect different systems. Also,...

  9. Getting cut short on orientation

    danceyrun replied to Birdy2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nobody ever feels 100% ready to be off of orientation as a new grad. Your preceptors would not just say that they think you are ready to be nice- they want you to be a safe nurse! When you do end up...

  13. Afraid of being trained as a bad nurse.

    danceyrun replied to NightBloomCereus's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is interesting. Even though you aren't seeing anyone else do an assessment, are you? You should assess each patient per your facility's policy. Make sure you do your own assessments no matter...

  14. What is the toughest question you have ever been asked by a patient?

    danceyrun replied to Zilijn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How do you respond to this? I am a new nurse (9 months) and I get so uncomfortable that I usually say something like "oh I know, look at that," and "every case is different." But it is something that...

    danceyrun replied to edwardsrn62's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ask a lot of questions, but don't do it in front of the patients. Be polite! It is very unlikely they will have you doing any

  19. Oncology ICU

    danceyrun replied to jema1990's topic in Critical Care

    danceyrun posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

  22. How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    danceyrun replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    I think it's great for you to practice assessments on someone who is soon to be d/c! They are stable. You are there to learn how to perfect assessments. If they don't need help with ADLs and are...

  23. Exhausted

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