Have you ever fainted 😕
I had eaten lunch maybe three hours before. And no to bring pregnant! Just peed on a stick today because that was any first thought. Only other time I had been sick during a procedure was during school a week before found out I was pregnant. I'm still feeling sick thinking about it. í ½í¸·í ½í¸·í ½í¸·

Have you ever fainted 😕
Today was my second day at my new ENT job. I'm a brand nurse with a few months of LTC experience... I can handle huge wounds, vomit, sputum, blood.... Well today I watched a lip biopsy and had to leave the room. I literally almost fainted on the floor. I started sweating bullets, turned grey, I thought I was panicking. What am I going to do? This is literally part of my job. I felt so pathetic.

Transition from SNF to ENT Office is it a good choice?
I am a new LPN. I have been working at a SNF for the past four months since I received my license. This was my first nursing job. I was trained for six days and left on my own with thirty patients. I managed and I caught on quickly. The facility I work with was previously shut down, and now under new mamagement, well it was great until recently they started telling me I had to do certain things such as 'Continue to medicate that pt even if she's sedated so she's not yelling, that's not going to be good during tours' (even though the order states 'hold if sedated') Then I was told to sign off medications even if they weren't available (in cart or e-kit) to avoid getting a tag. The then over is very bad there no ones been there longer than a year. I felt that it was just continuing to become questionable and my old Unit Manager quit and told me to start looking because she thinks they are going to be shut down again. Today I was offered a full-time position at an ENT office. I am scared to take it because I have literally no experience. Also is this going to look bad like I am 'job hopping'? Anyone do ENT work before ? What is it like? Any reccomendations?

Did the New PVT work?
I'm in mid panic mode. I was in and RN program up until may 2013. Due to some personal reasons I never was able to continue. I was able to go the PNEQ route in FL. RN and PN are so much different and I'm so worried. I sat for my NCLEX yesterday at 12. Finished at 1245 and shut off at 85. I literally had 50% SATA. I felt so challenged and when it shut off I immediately cried, I knew I did awful. I waited until 1 today and tried the new PVT..entered all my CC info.. I did use a wrong exp date in case.. I've gotten the 'good pop up' 4 times since I kept looking... I know I only have less than 24 hours left... But has anyone gotten the good pop up AFTER 24 HOURS? And failed?
