  1. How long for a med-pass?

    nelligolitely posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just curious how long it should be taking me for a med-pass in long-term-care. I know the Department of Health mandates only one hour each way, but wondering if others have trouble achieving this......

  2. my ADN program not so good?

    nelligolitely posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm beginnning to doubt the 2-yr program I just graduated from. In reading some other posts, especially from new grads and nursing students, I find a lot of things I didn't know, like potassium I.V....

  3. my ADN program not so good?

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went to PCCC. I think their day program is excellent, and probably in retrospect their night program too, but I just don't have confidence in myself. If there are opportunities for you to "slip...

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in Nursing Career

    I appreciate everybody's advice, and I really do want to take it. Unfortunately, with my depression, thinking about a new job is overwhelming. I'm going back to the nursing department tonight 3-11...

  5. New Grad ready to quit...

    nelligolitely posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi everybody. I'm a new RN grad from a 2-yr. program. I know I'm not typical; no job ever comes easy to me. My bosses and supervisors have no problem with me, it's usually MY problem. I have low...

  6. How long for a med-pass?

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in General Nursing

    Are you really a survey nurse? That would mean so much to me if you know what goes on; I always think the facility is tricking the survey

  7. New Grad ready to quit...

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in Nursing Career

    Part of my reason for staying at this nursing home is because I'm a civil servant. I get free health,dental, and prescriptions, and I pay into a great pension plan. Most people here are "lifers". I...

  8. New Grad ready to quit...

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for advice. I don't feel like a wonderful nurse... I had made those errors, and feel like there's so much I don't know. I'm pretty sure facility will put me back on probation, but orientation...

  9. my ADN program not so good?

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in N.J. It's a two-year program, but I needed to take a few pre-requisites so it took me three years. You have to already have Chemistry, Microbiology, A&P, Growth & Development, and...

  10. New Grad ready to quit...

    nelligolitely replied to nelligolitely's topic in Nursing Career

    To those that gave me advice, thank you so much. To RyanAaronsMom, thank you especially for that "staying in the moment" advice. It got me through last Monday and Tuesday. Unfortunately, I lost it...

  11. Mistake with new job?

    nelligolitely replied to kittiesareus's topic in Nursing Career

    None of your choices are as bad as you think. I'm a new grad so take my advice with a grain of salt, but... #1 - I know fellow nurses who honestly admitted being fired for med error in an interview,...

  12. Sad and confused

    nelligolitely replied to javanurse2000's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    KathC, I had to look at the name to make sure I didn't write this! I, too, graduated in December and have exactly the same problems in my nursing home in

  13. male CNA fired for "I love YOU"

    nelligolitely replied to edgreen's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow, I wish ANYBODY at my nursing home, besides the residents, would say they loved me! LOL. I agree with everybody else. Get a lawyer. You were wrongfully terminated. Maybe the ANA being you're a...

  14. How Long Will You Nurse?

    nelligolitely replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I voted "within two years", although I just started. Kudos to all those who stated they loved what they do and will stay in indefinitely. It made my day to know there are still some out there. I...

  15. Nursing Issue - Medication Aides

    nelligolitely replied to M&MRN2005's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Tiffany, it sounds like you do a lot of work. I think some RN's won't admit but they just do what you do on a daily basis, and they probably make THREE TIMES what you make! Yes, a good RN knows the...

  16. So, I found out that my first month of work as a new nurse....

    nelligolitely replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A little advice from a new grad just weeks ahead of you... Enjoy the time to learn in the classroom. It may be too hectic to teach you anything once you're on the floor. I agree some things you can...

    nelligolitely replied to Bindy's topic in Nursing Career

    Bindy, Thank you for sharing your post. I'm a new RN grad and have a lot of the same difficulties, although I was too frightened to go into acute care. My long term care facility must hire...

  18. Nursing Issue - Medication Aides

    nelligolitely replied to M&MRN2005's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    TiffanyCMT, It sounds like you do exactly what I do on a daily basis. 30-32 patients in a nursing home, all I do is one long, 8-hr med-pass. I'm a new RN grad. and have time to do nothing else....

  20. Do one thing over?

    nelligolitely replied to sprite123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wish, when I was in school, that I took on more opportunities during clinical experiences. I am a nervous individual, and would never volunteer to be humiliated in front of my peers. We always...

    nelligolitely replied to share's topic in First Year After Licensure
