  1. Feeling like a failure: maybe nursing isn't for me?

    Cmanursestudenta replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The very first order I was given was for Warfarin. I wrote down the order but was written up for giving the previous dose. I gave the dose before I spoke to the doctor because the labs were very late...

    Cmanursestudenta posted a topic in General Nursing

  4. Feeling off about job

    Cmanursestudenta replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    The trouble is one very cheap patient. He refuses to use the pharmacy and insists on buying pills. Then he also won't let the meds be repacked. So we are left with 90+ pills to individually count....

  5. Feeling off about job

    Cmanursestudenta replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    I flat out won't pass meds if they don't trust me. I honestly feel like if they need to make that kind of threat then well it's best if they have someone else pass the meds. It was not an individual...

  6. Feeling off about job

    Cmanursestudenta replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

  7. Are you exhausted?

    Cmanursestudenta replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but I shouldn't be. I work in a nursing home and we had Covid-19. As a RN there I test for Covid-19 and pass meds. The night before our major outbreak I passed meds to 45 patients because the LPN...

  11. Feel like giving up

    Cmanursestudenta replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Students

    Cmanursestudenta replied to jane82's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Cmanursestudenta replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

    Alcohol is legal but that doesn't mean you show up to work having tied back a few. Benadryl and sleep aides are also legal but you wouldn't take that before showing up for work. I figure as a nurse...

  15. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Cmanursestudenta replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a nursing home too. Day shift is the hardest nursing shift I think. I go with the night or evening. Ask if you can change shifts and you know the work might be

    Cmanursestudenta replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

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

  19. problems.....at work

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

    I'm transferring to a different unit. I think the problem is my lack of confidence and the fact that I didn't think I would pass. My NCLEX was hellishly hard half my questions were SATA and I left...
