    New requirement for 2006 grads?

    jnette replied to Pitbullgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I agree.. can't find fault with that at all. A new grad needs all the support and supervised experience he/she can get. Kind of a safety net... you're in the pool, but you get to cling to the sides....

    jnette replied to vidrine rn's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. First, there was no mention of her being unit manager. She said she has 6 weeks to TRAIN. And that is the norm at most, if not all dialysis...

    When you're in charge and you have to report a friend? Then what?

    jnette replied to vidrine rn's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Six weeks is the average ACTUAL trng. period.. this does not mean that anyone expects you to be proficient at what you do in a mere six weeks. The training itself of "all things new" encompasses 6...

    Relax, Debbie. If your DON is worth anything at all, she will encourage you to continue on and motivate you to perfect your skills. Yours is certainly not the first med error made there, nor will it...

    imposter nurse????

    jnette replied to lllliv's topic in General Nursing
