So...I will give a quick background of what has been going on to whomever hasn't been following my previous posts. About a month ago I accepted a position with my employer as an Infusion nurse. Every 4th holidays and weekend. Gave my notice to my man...

Thank you!

Unfortunately in my area, there aren't a lot of case management and day turn positions available. I have heard a lot of mixed reviews on home care. Long hrs, driving a lot, going to homes in not such good areas, and not having as many resources avail...

So just when I thought things were finally looking up. I get a dose of reality. If you read my previous post, I was offered a job in an outpatient infusion center and accepted it. Would have been a great fit for my family life and I was super excited...

I am really trying hard to believe that. It is hard though, bc this would have been great for me and my family. I am just so burnt out from working my floor and nightshift. It has taken a toll on my home life, as well as my marriage. I just dont know...

Thank you! I was offered the position and I am so excited and nervous! But this will be a great opportunity for me and the women I will work with are wonderful and so helpful! I will be sure to look into those resources! Thank you for the info, I had...

Hello everyone! I am a newer nurse, just a little over 1 year of med/surg nursing. I recently interviewed for a position with my hospital as an outpatient Infusion RN. I was invited back to shadow an RN, which I haven't done yet but is coming up soon...

Luckily, I am familiar with a lot of central lines, as well as ports. We get a lot of patients that are getting chemo and patients that just cannot keep peripheral sites, due to the condition of their veins. I do have some experience with those, not ...

Thank you for your reply and encouragment! I am ready for a change. Just being off of nightshift I think will make a world of difference for me. I did not end up seeking counseling, but I have been confiding in a nursing buddy (someone I've known for...

Hello everyone, I had posted to the site a month or so ago about not loving my job and just feeling depressed and burnt out. I'll give you a little background first. Been a nurse for a little over 1 year. Been working nightshift (4 8hr shifts) on a ...

Hi all! Let me start by giving you a little background about myself. I am a new nurse, off of orientation for 6 months now on a busy ortho-surgical floor. I had my first code last night, which the patient did not make it. I am having a hard time deal...

Thank you for your encouraging words amd not making me feel like a horrible person. I am just taking it one day at a time. Had a small emotional break down yesterday before work. I am really struggling with nursing and the stress and demand it puts o...

I get that we cannot control everything. Death is nothing new to me, unfortunately. I have also been on the other side. I lost my mom and grandmother in 2012 and my step-dad in 2014. I have been involved in codes previously, just not as the Nurse of ...

That I am not sure of. The patient was not very old, but had a lot of health issues. Patient came to me from ED about 2330 and the PCP is out of the country, so it was a physician covering for him that wasnt familiar with the patient. Regardless, I d...

Yea, to an extent. My manager said I did really well. Which coming from her, is a huge compliment. I do have someone that I talk to, but I keep a lot inside. I don't like to bother others with my burdens. I try to confide im my husband what I am feel...

Hello everyone. I am just looking to vent. I am a newer nurse. Been on my job for 8 months and off of orientation for 5 months. I work on a very busy ortho/surgical floor. We tend to get a lot of nursing home patients, as well. So, some of these pat...

Thank you for your reply. My husband is a difficult creature. We do make time for each other and we are best friends. However, he has a no nonsense kind of attitude. I always make sure I ask him how his day is. It is just hard, because my work stress...

Thank you everyone for replying, it is really nice to be able to vent to others that can relate. I am really trying my best to hang in there for a full year.

Thank you for your response❤

It is not the school I went to. We were taught to question orders. It was an incident at work. I was just wondering if anyone else encountered this issue with management or supervisors.

Let me begin by stating, I am a new nurse. Been on my own for 3 months now, so I am still learning. However, I was just curious how many nurses out there have been told by management or supervisors that we should not question a doctors orders? I had ...

You didn't bore me, lol. Thank you for your input. Yhe pt was an admit from home d/t a fall. Our nursing supervisors are basically on for staffing purposes, placing admissions, and if a pt is going for a surgical procedure the next day, and to be pre...

I work nights. This incident was with mu nursing supervisor, whom we are told is our resource to go to with questions and concerns since we don't have the resources days do. We have one very extremely helpful supervisor, he will help with difficult I...

Yes, I just dont want to be too specific. This is something that warranted the pt to be in iso previously when admitted 2 months ago and this pt is a frequent flyer and is known to have this frequently when admitted.

Wasnt a uti, it was something that warranted isolation precautions. Just dont want to be too specific on here.
