  1. 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....

  2. New job, IV issues

    Pedsnurse1026 posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  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. Leaving new job- not a new RN

    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...

  5. 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

  6. 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...

    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...

    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...

  9. 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...

  10. Feeling inadequate- new job

    Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    The type and screen was not ordered. However it is protocol for this specific procedure so it should have been

  11. 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...

  13. Possible attendance write-up

    Pedsnurse1026 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am very stressed out about possibly being written up for time & attendance. Recently, I received an attendance "warning" (not write up) related to my attendance points- we have a system that...

  14. 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...

  15. Possible attendance write-up

    Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I had previously acquired enough points that missing this class would put me into corrective

  16. Possible attendance write-up

    Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  17. Possible attendance write-up

    Pedsnurse1026 replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    Essentially, yes. I have emailed my supervisor to explain what happened but she hasn't responded to me (but she has sent out other emails in the meantime to our unit as a
