  1. Questioning a doctors order

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is why I am so confused by this. No diagnostic testing was done to prove this pt wasn't infected. That why I asked her, bc there was no infectious disease doctor on and no stated reason for...

  2. Questioning a doctors order

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, no mistaking... When she said, "Don't question the doctors order. It was Dr. "###", he put the order in". She even said that there should have been a UA or culture done, but it was the doctor that...

  3. Questioning a doctors order

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for your reply. It is really disheartening, especially for a new nurse that is still trying to figure things out. I really try not to take things personally, but it is hard when you feel...

    MrsJt posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    So...I guess I am just looking for some uplifting words. I am a new nurse, less than 1 year of experience. I have been iff of orientation for 1 month now. I had a situation with my nurse manager and I...

  5. New nurse and still learning

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

    This is just a nursing post. Like I stated, I did not feel the need to be "pc" for the post, so I didn't review the post before posting. The only charting that was done was to put an order in for a...

  7. New nurse and still learning

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

    Verbal orders are permitted at our hospital. I work nights, so many times that is our only source of communication with the doctors. She was upset because I was told to put mild to moderate and...

    Hi all, Let me give a little background. I am a new nurse graduated in May, passed NCLEX in August. I am currently working 32 hrs night shift (11p-730a) on a very busy Ortho/Surgical unit and I hate...

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

    Thank you for your reply. I have searched other posts here and other sites. A lot of what I have read is others experiencing what I am going through. However, a lot of what others have posted is that...

    MrsJt posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm in a dilema. I am in a position in which I am a newly licensed RN and I am wanting to change the facility that I am employed due to numerous reasons. Right now I am in a hospital...

  12. 8's vs 12's

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    The only issue I'm having is trying to figure out how to schedule my days off. I will have to work every other weekend and it is throwing me off. I like 3 days off in a row bc the first day off isn't...

  13. 8's vs 12's

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! I'm starting to like the idea os 11p-7a more and more! I will have 5-6 patients usually and they are offering a great orientation (10-12wks). Not really the floor I was hoping...

  14. 8's vs 12's

    MrsJt replied to MrsJt's topic in General Nursing

    That is very reassuring to hear! The LTC facility has the better schedule for me (3, 12's), but I literally get 1 day of orientation with up to 15 patients. I would work 11p-730a at the hospital, so I...

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

    Thank you for your reply! The issue is more of just protocol between the 2 units (for example when to clear the pumps for I&O's, etc) and managememt working us to bare minimum. They combined two...

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

    Basically, I am a new nurse and the seasoned nurses aren't so welcoming. I don't feel that I am getting an adequate orientation to my unit. I am afraid that once I am on my own, due to events that...
