  2. Help Me Get Excited About My Shift to Night Shift!

    anewsns replied to seasidesoul's topic in General Nursing

    I think nights can be cozy depending on where you are.. Grab a nice warm coffee and get a good report and maybe have some time to chat with your insomniac patients and cohorts, depending how busy your...

  3. What are doctors thinking?

    anewsns replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    Wow , those meds will put anyone to sleep! Is she also taking them at night ? Non pharm choices are always a good idea, but I wonder if she would be good to take them at night for now to avoid...

  4. Frustrating case at clinical

    anewsns replied to Jrhemming's topic in General Nursing

    Some of this is concerning but still manageable at home. Patient education is necessary in this case, and maybe they went home with services. Insurance only covers so

  5. New Nurse, am I doing enough??

    anewsns replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing

    I have this same thing where everyone thinks I'm the calmest person in the world and my anxiety is usually between 6 and 10. And I've been a nurse for 5 years. As a new nurse it's hard to know what to...

  6. NG tube feeding

    anewsns replied to brenns14's topic in General Students

    Bowel sounds are absent so the feed is going nowhere regardless of where the tube is. Stop the feed. Step one before step

  7. And here comes the nightly spam

    anewsns replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get the point of spam , or bots. Or spam bots. Who is getting something out of this ? I appreciate the mods and anyone behind the scenes taking care of

  8. Burnt out and need advice

    anewsns replied to GeminiNurse29's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just make sure you're charting everything you're doing to prevent falls. A good note on every shift on your problems and interventions with this individual. It is definitely worth the extra 5-10...

  9. LPN with limited skills

    anewsns replied to Tomboytammy's topic in General Nursing

    I do find that it does get better over time. Its like you just need to see over and over again that there were no complications and then you feel more confident. Some things require some muscle memory...

  10. Day Shift Anxiety in New Grad- should I talk to my manager?

    anewsns replied to IV_Espresso's topic in General Nursing

    I think they will appreciate your

  11. When did you find your calling?

    anewsns replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    So, I wanted to go into advertising , writing , or journalism. I didn't even like science. I thought about this logically, and thought "well maybe by the time I'm 30 (I was 20) I will want to feel...

  12. Relocation advice

    anewsns replied to avonrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Aww that's so exciting and lucky that you can have these experiences

  13. Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    anewsns replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I for one am not scared to admit that I do care about the patients and want them to get better. And I especially don't want them to die. If that was the issue all along then I guess we are on the same...

  14. New grad preferred over experienced RN

    anewsns replied to mmeyers39's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wait so you got a part time job and they got full time ? I think it's really unlikely that this is a message that you did something wrong. They may have wanted new grads to do full time so they...

  15. New grad preferred over experienced RN

    anewsns replied to mmeyers39's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, what happened exactly ? You got the job but you're training with new grads

  16. #nursesforgive

    anewsns replied to Nerd eNurse's topic in General Nursing

    In the middle of the outrage I was thinking "I HOPE IM HER NURSE SOMEDAY". Then I started thinking about what that means and I thought being sick and in bed and at the mercy of a nurse would be...

  17. Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    anewsns replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like there's some unhealthy underlying dynamic with some of these declarations of being a "nurse who CARES!!" I can't put my finger on it though. I am considered a person with good boundaries...

  18. Who hires new grads in Manchester, NH?

    anewsns replied to NurseGuyDrew's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Elliot hospital , and also I think Concord hospital

  19. new grad: cant find a job

    anewsns replied to 2016New's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I just have to comment about not being sure how hospitals think new grads will get experience.. I dont think they consider giving new grads experience just for the sake of it. It's an investment on...

  20. Help! Studying for a final cant find answer

    anewsns replied to preciouspkgs's topic in General Students

    I would check out a careplan book on this

  21. My Nursing Instructor Is making clinical a nightmare

    anewsns replied to Chole_0316's topic in General Students

    I actually disagree with people who report not to say anything. I would go with a couple other students or alone and talk to someone trusted about it. I think that approach is likely to impede your...

  22. Weeding Out the Weak?

    anewsns replied to Ajcapri's topic in General Students

    Nursing school by it's nature weeds out the weak, but staying over hours after class is

  23. Why do nurses eat their young?

    anewsns replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This isn't NETY, it's just a grouchy lady. Can you call back and just ask for the nursing syllabus? do they need it directly from the school? Can you talk to someone else? People can be rude in many...

  24. Vent about toiletting patients

    anewsns replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't take the paper seriously . They are clearly short staffed even though you aren't allowed to say it out loud. Im not even sure what kind of weight a paper like that holds if it's not a law,...

  25. Unpaid orientation LTC

    anewsns replied to Cwyan's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do not work for that company. Thats exploitation and its hugely unethical. I can't imagine all the other bad things that go on in
