    withorwithoutyou posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey guys, This is actually my second year as a nurse. I was working at a LTC/SNF for a year. The whole time I dreamed and pray of a job at the hospital figuring I need that 1 year of med-surgical...

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

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

    Thanks man. I'm not going to drag anyone into why I resign. I'm just so scared to talk to my manager about it after she yell at me before and other nurses. I finally build the courage up today to...

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

    I had a talk with my coworkers. They told me to try to stick it out for at least 6 months. I just went to see a chiropractor today because my back was hurting so bad. I basically walk like an old...

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

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

    How do I go about quitting though? I know a 2 week notice resignation letter is the professional way. However, this is the first time at the hospital. Do I turn it in to the director of nursing or...

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

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

    I want to be proactive but this manager is just so intimidating. I remember my third week of orientation when I pull a brand new insulin pen out. It is a pixys system so it was totally new to me...

    withorwithoutyou replied to manch's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank guys I will give it another try. I mean I went through BSN program to get a job at the hospital. It would be a waste if I quit so

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

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

    I understand that. for example, a patient coming in for acute exacerbation asthma. I check their breath sounds, respiratory pattern. If I leave dorsalis pedis pulse out she ask me why I left it...

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

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

    I have job line up at a new LTAC/SNF with my old ADON. She said there is a spot and she is willing to hire me. However, I probably know if I quit this hospital job than I would probably not get...

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

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

    The probationary period ends after orientation right? I have a week left of orientation but my preceptor said she might need to talk to the nurse manager to extend it another 2 weeks. My gut feeling...

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't know Levitas. I read another thread on here where someone mention on here to not mention any procedures so I just want to be safe. You are right Levitas. It is better to be safe than sorry...

    My preceptor was the one that actually caught it rinskin. She is a great preceptor. I had to get a different preceptor for night time because they have a new nurse and my previous preceptor has to...

  16. NPO after midnight

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I know NPO means nothing by mouth Ms. Rose. I said I was pretty sure I can still give IV meds if the patient is NPO. HOwever, I'm a new hospital working in the hospital setting. I just wanted to...

  17. New graduate nurse in med-surg

    withorwithoutyou replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I am in the same boat. I definitely know how you feel. I have been in orientation for about 5 weeks. The charting and the policy is what is keeping me back. There is so much to learn about...

    withorwithoutyou replied to withorwithoutyou's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Thank you so much for the kind advice guys. For that moment I thought I was the only one that would be so stupid to not log on to the computer to check the vital signs. You are right 11RN, one...
