   Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

   There is another opportunity that has presented itself to me. I would definitely not leave my current position before getting another! My concern is how this will look on my resume long term if I were...

2. Leaving new job- not a new RN

   Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

   The overall culture of the unit is what I don't like. The only thing that matters is how quickly things can get done and not the patients

3. Leaving new job- not a new RN

   Pedsnurse1026 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I see lots of threads on this topic from new grads but not from experienced nurses (not super-experienced, but not new). I worked on a med/surg floor for 3 years and recently changed jobs. Problem is,...

4. Guilt after shifts

   Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

   That's exactly how I feel- that others are judging what I do when in reality they probably don't really care. There is one older nurse in particular that works in my department that made a comment...

5. Guilt after shifts

   Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

   Also I did offer to redress the iv and I flushed it as well. She was very persistent that she wanted it moved so I did as I was asked. However, my coworker who came to put in the new iv did say...

6. Guilt after shifts

   Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

   In this instance, she was pre-op and did have other available veins, but insisted that the iv go into her hand. I guess I should have told her that I couldn't? I mentioned to her that the veins in her...

7. Guilt after shifts

   Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

   I know I can't get every IV, but sometimes it feels like that is expected of me in this job. I have been needing help on 1-2 IVs per day and on an average have 6 patients per day. In this particular...

8. Guilt after shifts

   Pedsnurse1026 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Lately I have been feeling major guilt after every shift that I work. I am new to my job, but not a new nurse. I so badly want to do well, and I don't want the other nurses to think poorly of me....

10. Feeling inadequate- new job

    Pedsnurse1026 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today was my last day of orientation at a new job and I'm feeling less than great about it. My last patient was a difficult stick and I needed to get assistance with the iv (ambulatory surgery). I...

    I have recently started a new job in preop- great hours, staff, etc but I am so nervous about starting ivs! I am doing well keeping up with all the demands of the job with the exception of my iv...

13. Possible attendance write-up

    Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    I did get in contact with my manager, and she told me not to worry about the class since the new system has some glitches. The points fall off one year from the date they occurred, so I have several...

    Not unionized. And I do plan on going to my UM, but she is leaving for vacation. I have checked all my emails. I received an email for registration without a date or time since I was on the wait list...
