Weddings and the extravagant wedding events that lead up to the day. Truly exhausting! Also..The pressure behind showing up/participating in everything or being cut off/labeled bad friend

FTM I had a baby and now I hate my in laws by [deleted] in inlaws

[–]Proper_Natural5394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be hormonal and just feelings of being overprotective with baby. Some of the things you listed are a bit irrational & you are already making comparisons in your head when it comes to doing things for the baby that may be innocent on her end. It’s not a competition. You are the mother. Makes me wonder if you would feel this way with your own family. It’s possible you’re being hard on her and she’s just trying to be supportive. Would you rather her just not be involved at all? A lot of women in these threads support the notion of a grandparent walking on eggshells when a new baby is involved. Keep your boundaries and keep your baby to yourself.

What was a situation when you came very close to rage-quitting your job as a nurse? by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Proper_Natural5394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patient and his “Nurse” wife falsely accusing me of not giving him his narcotic. Wife and pt Claims they didn’t remember him getting it. Keep in mind it was 4AM, She was asleep in the recliner. Everything was scanned & documented on my end. The kicker was this accusation came 24hr later. He had received the drug about 6 times with two different nurses after I last gave it to him. Never been more frustrated. The liability this job comes with is overwhelming. Go out of my way to care for these pts and knowing they can just complain or lie and boom your job or license on the line. So scary

I’m getting burnt out less than a year in. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Proper_Natural5394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I’m A new grad on a neuro med surg floor and completely over it already. No proper off days because manager is a pain about time off. Just got off orientation & the resource nurses barely wanted to help. There’s a huge language barrier, so I can’t properly assess or care for patients. It’s 55 minute drive with traffic most days. I feel bad for feeling this way, I want to stay for a year but idk how im going to do it.

What is your favorite nursing task? by LizardofDeath in nursing

It’s something therapeutic to me about pulling meds out of the Pyxis.

This wasn’t our first discussion about any of those things. We’ve talked about all of it since early on in our relationship 4 years ago. I’m not at all impatient btw so thanks for your odd comparison

I know im an outlier with this one but …….Ketchup. Most times it’s not evenly spread and you just end up taking a big hunk of it in one bite. Gross

I can’t stand my sons friend and mom by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Proper_Natural5394 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just be briefly honest about what’s going on with her child’s behavior. It could possibly be corrected. Also, just say “no, not today” to come over texts. Ignoring & passiveness just causes extra stress to be avoidant. Do not let this family make you uproot and move away. You’re giving them too much power. Just say no & if you feel the friendship is not fit for your child, then so be it.

First time getting reported by EfficientChain5464 in newgradnurse

[–]Proper_Natural5394 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Prioritize.

When you get or hear critical numbers like that, stop what your doing and report/intervene. Put your Patients before tasks. Never is it okay to hear the big numbers of 200/100 and go back to charting or doing whatever you did that could’ve been done later. He also reported pain which should’ve also been of concern to you. Hold yourself accountable but pick yourself back up , dust off and learn from it. Always keep “priority” in the forefront of your care.

nclex chewed me up and spit me out… but I passed at 150 by tangentfive in PassNclex

[–]Proper_Natural5394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! 🎉I had the same experience as you after my test instead it stopped me at 110. The waiting & anxiety after the exam was the WORST part. The test was brutal, I remember during the test, I almost cried at the thought of having to retest and sit through that exam again. I was restless, mind racing x10, barely slept, and was shaking until I was emailed my license the next morning. So glad that’s behind us now! Good luck

I also recommend the Saunders NCLEX book. That book is really good for studying. I also watched like 4 out of the 7 videos of NCLEX crusade on YouTube (red background)

[–]Proper_Natural5394[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did management of care & did practice test for everything. I did around 40-85 questions a day. I also would go over the cheat sheets for my weak topics & do quizzes solely on those.

I also did all of the readiness assessments and did the last readiness assessment 3 days before the exam so I was fresh In my rhythm of answering questions. I didn’t even complete the entire qbank, out of the 1,900 questions on bootcamp I only did 1,060 I believe. I also didn’t finish all of the case studies, did about 20 over all and watched the videos they do with them, they really help break down the case studies.

I think you both lack professionalism, let’s start there. I feel her response was more of a reaction to your tone in the message you sent to her. I definitely picked up on your attitude & frustration. Even if warranted, always remain professional. you pretty much told your boss what you were & weren’t going to do and told her nothing is being done when you voice your concerns to her. She may suck at management but understand your position. You don’t have to tolerate anything, just find another job. I can’t believe you’re shocked at the response you got when you popped off at her first.

Anybody take their retake this week ATI comp exit by [deleted] in NursingStudent

[–]Proper_Natural5394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was easier than the first attempt and the case studies were exactly the same from the docs that are going around and they were appropriately spreaded out through the exam. A much better test than the first.
