  1. Feeling Guilt For Being Sent Home

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    True, but there is nothing like an actual patients to apply these knowledge

  2. Feeling Guilt For Being Sent Home

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much, it was such a meaningful, inspiring post. I know what you mean by things always sort themselves out and I shouldn't be so upset about controlling or perhaps the inability to control...

  3. Feeling Guilt For Being Sent Home

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry I didn't mean in that sense, more like I thought I made a progress by going from tele to ICU but now I go back. I actually liked tele, just I love the knowledge in ICU I got. I don't...

  4. Feeling Guilt For Being Sent Home

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    The idea was that tele has the help of PCTs and not all patients are complete care (these are actually the patients discharged from cvicu, so like a step down). I don't want to work on tele floor...

  5. rotating shifts

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I am struggling with how to approach the issue at work. I was hired for the night shift at ICU. I thought it was an awesome opportunity and accepted without thinking. In meantime, I...

  6. rotating shifts

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! No , I understand preceptors' schedules. I am orienting on days and will have few shifts on nights and then, when on my own I would start rotating. I would give it a try but I don't want...

  7. Not given hours

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I am not sure what my options are here. I am a relatively a new nurse (for several months now). I work full time at a hospital (3 12-hours). Sometimes, they need more people and I sign up for...

  8. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I pased my NCLEX in October and it's been a month of applying to different nursing positions but no luck. Not even a rejection, nothing. Radio silence. On top of that, I went to a job fair and got...

  9. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats to you on landing a job. Did you have any previous healthcare experience? I find it impossible to limit myself to only emergency department. I am open to anything, as long as, it is a...

  10. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree, agree, agree... except for magna cum laude, I wouldn't mention that on my interview (unless asked), but I mentioned it here just to highlight the frustration of how irrelevant my efforts during...

  11. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Today, I got an offer for in-home care, PRN, for a nursing home and for a school nurse, as well as an offer for a hospital job but I would need to relocate (not an option). Now I wonder if I accept...

  12. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree, I was bummed when he said they can call the unit, I am always here. First, he is not always there. Second, yeah the unit might not be the right number to call. I guess another reason i am...

  13. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you. My role transition was my last clinical and I worked with this preceptor 40h/week for 4 weeks. I am just hesitant to call him at the hospital because it is a long term acute setting and he...

  14. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I don't have his email. When he offered to be my reference, I asked for his contact info and he said: "they can call me here" (meaning the hospital). I know it doesnt mean...

  15. Can't find a job

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was told that, but here is what happened: they hired several nurses (one of them was my friend). That was on Saturday. On Monday, they gave her a call and officially hired her. When I didn't receive...

  16. Gift for my preceptor

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Tomorrow is my last day of role transition clinical. My preceptor was great and I want to thank him. Most of my classmates got Starbucks gift cards for their nurses. However, my preceptor doesnt like...

  18. Gift for my preceptor

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    I have a note as well, but we did notes for every single rotation. This is more than a regular rotation, and he has been the best preceptor i had during the entire

  19. chest tubes

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Can anyone help me answer this question about chest tubes? What is the purpose of water seal in drainage system? to drain fluid or to create neg pressure in intarthoracic cavity? Thank

  20. chest tubes

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So it helps drainage since negative pressure is in intrapleural

  21. chest tubes

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I found that it helps keep negative pressure in intra pleural space and allows fluid to exit. I guess intra pleural/intra thoracic is confusing me. so it restores negative pressure but it also helps...

  22. Miserable nurses

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is more a vent, because i had a horrible day at the hospital today. As a nursing student I was assigned to one of the nurses at DEU facility. At 7am I introduced myself and let her know I will be...

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I said my last post, therefore won't be replying anymore nor pick up a fight. I don't like that nursing culture (though most of the nurses are nice, others just ruin it for

    Ok, thank you all for your replies. I am going to give you my opinion and some update one more time then I am off to study. First of all, I don't really care if she gets fired or not. This job seems...

  25. Miserable nurses

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    That is ridiculous. Asking from someone to respect me and be professional is all about me. How about nurses learn to communicate and stop abusing nursing AND medical students. These are the rules,...
