   Update: Last day in this facility is 11/20. Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how I feel about taking another assignment . Haha.

2. Suspicion About Med Error

   ADN_Is_Complete replied to Sharmilagrg00's topic in Safety

   Without any proof or even talking to the nurse first?

3. I’m very distressed-my med error

   ADN_Is_Complete replied to DolceVita's topic in Safety

   As someone who has made a med error, I know the gut wrenching feeling. Take this as a lesson, always review your algorithms. You said the patient is okay. Please be kind to yourself. Hopefully, this will just be a learning experience and management w...

4. Travel RNs please emerge!

   ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in Travel

   Yeah, I know if I leave staffing will only get worse . But I'm worried because ultimately everything falls back on the RN.

5. Travel RNs please emerge!

   ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in Travel

   Hey Ned, I appreciate you chiming in. You mentioned some good points. I agree that getting warmed up make take some time, but I do have safety concerns. I feel the workload is just impossible. Most nurses leaving at 830 or 9 after their shifts. I lef...

   Hi everyone, long time no post. I'm on my 2nd week on a travel assignment for CV stepdown. And this is what I encountered, I had 2 insulin drips one day. One of them was getting blood and had a peg. I think the other ones were an AKA and a man who do...

   Rest in peace Esme. My condolences to her family.

9. I never thought this would happen

   ADN_Is_Complete replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in COVID

   I went PRN 3/29. I have only worked 24 hrs in 3 weeks. One shift screening visitors and one shift on the medical floor. My floor closed and combined with cards for the time being. Our full time staff is constantly being called off as well. These are ...

10. I quit

    ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    For the most part, I feel I'm pulling at ideas too. And how much experience do they want with Home Health? And I do have to work on saying no, it's very hard. I've been a part of 1-2 codes on other Nurse's pts. I don't particularly enjoy the adrenali...

11. I quit

    ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    Hey all, I did speak with my director and I went PRN. I'll do that until I figure what area I want to work in. I'll keep you all updated. I'll check around my area and apply. I hope so. I still haven't heard back from CCU, CVICU or trauma yet.

12. I quit

    ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure. Maybe I would become a vet tech or something. And I like being a nurse for the most part. I just don't like working in the area I'm in. I want to try out a few more areas before I give up. And you're right. Things are not changing for t...

13. I quit

    ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm kind of wary about this. But if push comes to shove and I can't find anything else, I'll have to take whatever is willing to hire me. I just don't know how to juggle 23-44 pts.

14. I quit

    ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    I have but shouldn't I have more experience?

15. I quit

    ADN_Is_Complete replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Nursing

    I'm willing to try it. It feels like I've been applying for Dr. Offices and other non-bedside positions but I keep getting passed over for more qualified candidates. It's so frustrating. I've applied to CVICU and CCU so we'll see where that goes.
