Thanks everyone for the kind words and tips. I came into work today and checked my brain sheets from last week and I did leave the box to document stopping the lasix Unchecked. The patient is still here and I verified I didn’t document it being stopped, the system wouldn’t let me back chart a note so many days behind so I asked my manager and she told me just put a note for today in documented as late entry with the correct date and time the lasix was stopped, so that’s what I did. A couple other nurses were saying they wouldn’t of even said anything as it hadn’t been documented a new bag had been started since 0600 the day before, and a bag only lasts about 10 hours. But I feel a moral obligation to make sure the chart is as accurate as I can make it. Perhaps I care too much? I'm trying to not stress so much about things at work. I have redone my brain sheets so I’m hoping that helps.

I’ve been a med-surg RN for 5 years now and started a new job about 6 months ago, still med-surg. I feel like here lately I am extremely anxious, always thinking about work, and worried about making mistakes. I worked last Thursday and realized Sunday (on my off days) that I forgot to document I stopped an IV lasix drip on a patient I received as a downgrade around 1600 on Thursday. I know I put the order in and stopped it but do not remember documenting the fact I actually stopped it. I have been told I only have 24hours after shift ends to fix documentation so I cannot fix what happened last Thursday. I am worried I will get in trouble for this, as I am pretty positive I didn’t document I stopped it. Lately I feel like any error I make will cost me my license and I am constantly worried about it. I go over my shifts constantly on my off days and then cannot remember what I did and didn’t document and get worried about missing something (how I realized I may of forgot to document the lasix stop time). I know I do everything I should do, but worry about missing the documentation for it. I have never had this issue before at any of the other facilities I have worked at. I do use brain sheets but when I run in a patients room and then another’s, I forget to mark down everything I do. Here lately I noticed I may have forgot to document IV stop times on 2 of my patients. I feel like I am done with nursing. The stress and anxiety is killing me. I do have my MSN but have no interest in utilizing it at all either. When I realize I may of forgot to document something it makes me wonder what else I have forgot and that causes me to get very anxious. I want to quit but my husband thinks I am just being overly whiny about it all and should stick with it. I’m not sure what to do ?

Thanks for the info, I'm going to inquire about it at the financial aid office. My situation is a bit odd. My husband is stationed at a base within 40miles of the school so the school considers me instate but I'm legally a Texas resident who lives in Georgia. If I don't get it no biggie, I still qualify for other grants.

Yes ma'am. I'm not a Northeast Florida resident.

NOOO! I don't qualify for CareerSource. Sucks.

didnt get anything and still don't see it. Anyone else find it?

i can't find this page. Could you possibly invite me? Kayla Morgart. Thanks!

What is the name of the Facebook page? nvm I see it.

Thank you!

Can I get those notes as well beatrice91? My email is [email protected]. Thanks!

No. My husband stole them all .

? About the uniforms. It stays we must have the stuff by August 25th but then it says Meridys won't ship it till Sept 14. Am I reading this wrong? It makes no sense.

After a nice long beautiful day of fishing I came home to a large white envelope in my mailbox. I'm in for days!!!

Mine was fixed the day I turned in my packet, but it was the 3rd or 4th time they "fixed" it.

If they screw up your residency and have you in the system as out of state. I'm not home to check the mail and I am super nervous that they didn't fix my residency and I won't get in even though I applied with 220 points.

For the ?'s about being from a certain part of town, I was told by The lady in charge that starting for the summer you no longer needed to live in county just have to be considered instate and you would be grouped with everyone else. I guess before last semester they did Duval/Nassau county and then alloted 10% of the seats for other counties, but they still had to be in Florida. She told me if they have you in the system as out of state you have 0 chance of getting in(problem I had) So I wouldn't worry about what part of Duval you live in, as long as you are in the system as in state you are good!

No they way it was explained to me was they are a community college so they only look at in state first then if enough people don't apply they look at out of state, but I doubt there has ever been a semester where that has happend.

I know how you feel. I applied for the summer term and found out they had me in the system as out of state which gave me zero chance of getting in. Supposedly it has been fixed but I'm still on edge about it because it's not the first time they have "fixed it". So fingers crossed! But even with a 209 I'm sure you're in!

C 212 at north campus.

Wow! A lot of people have really good scores! I retook my NAT today and scored a 100 on it, so I will be applying with 220. Fingers crossed!! Good luck to everyone!

I would love the tips! I'm new to this site, so could someone please tell me how to PM? Thanks.

Yes. It said thank you for your application for spring term 2013. But it did have the dates right( Dec.1-Feb1) for application period. Then it told me how to apply for the summer. I'm curious, did your letter say you didn't get selected because of criteria in Steps to Applying? My letter mentions proof of Florida residency, which I did not turn in(I'm not a Florida resident). I'm wondering if this will be a problem for me in the fall. I want to make sure I got denied because of my points and not forgetting a paper so I have all the papers next time. :)

I don't remember the guy's name. I took it at Nassau Campus. He gave us notes and we could use the notes on all the tests. I am a bit of a math nerd and took the stats class just for fun, maybe that's why it was so easy. I wasn't worried about my grade. I got my denial letter yesterday, so looks like I am officially a fall hopeful as well :). Gave me a chuckle, they didn't even bother changing it from spring to summer for my denial letter.

I have only Micro left. I have a 104 with my pre-reqs but I did horribly on my NAT(70.4). I plan on waiting until the end of april to retake the NAT. I didn't study the first time since I knew I could retake again before the fall. Based on my last score I will be starting to study soon. My husband is in the military and has decided to go to shore duty next December, which means we will be moving, so the fall semester is really my only hope to get into. Good luck in your stats class. I took it last semester and found it to be fairly easy.

Hello. I too applied for the summer, but with only a 174 I highly doubt my chances. I am hoping once my classes are done and I retake the NAT, that my chances greatly improve. Good luck to you in bringing up your grades.
