   I am also a new RN and have been working sub-acute rehab/ltc for almost 3 months now. I work the 7A-7P shift, but 12 hours is not enough time to get all the work done for 20-25 patients. I work with...

3. Feel like an idiot

   jensmomrn11 replied to jensmomrn11's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I had charted admissions before and incident reports before and did not have any problems. I don't know if it was a computer issue or if I was just so flustered over the acuity of the patient that...

   jensmomrn11 replied to janice_c67's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I feel your pain. I dread going to work in the mornings and sometimes feel like crying on my way home. The stress is terrible and I am losing sleep at night going over what I did during the day. I am...

11. Sorry I got the RN

    jensmomrn11 replied to jensmomrn11's topic in New Jersey Nursing
