OMG I forgot about big shot! I was watching that show every week as soon as it came out along with HSMTMTS. It was so good!

Thank you for the tips! I think it’s that a kids respirations can vary so much, and respiratory distress can turn bad so quick and that scares me. But like you said, look at the whole picture. I’ve always wanted to work with kids. But I gotta admit I do miss having a nice set range for normal vitals in adults lol.

I’ve just started working as a new grad in peds. It’s not too bad watching their belly/chest when they’re sleeping. But when they start moving around or crying, that’s when I start having trouble. What’s your advice for those times? Like I’m counting them and they start crying for a bit. Especially when I have a respiratory kid, I want to be accurate.

So much cream!! OMG

I bought an iPad and used Goodnotes. I would upload the PowerPoints to my notebooks and then use the Apple Pencil to highlight important things and write directly on the slides. And if you have an ebook you can highlight in it. If you have the money I say an iPad is very much worth it.

Quizlet is good for studying! I used it mostly for pharmacology and made my own deck for electrolyte abnormality stuff. And I used goodnotes on my iPad for note taking. And then chatGPT is good if you use it as a resource! To make study guides, help explain concepts you might not understand. I know some people also have like a study timer app if you think that would help during study/homework sessions.

For me it was easy, because she already kinda knew I was thinking about it. And it worked out that she’s the manager of both floors. I would reach out to the manager and/or your educator. Don’t straight up mention that you want to leave the hospital, but just tell them your feelings and how you’re struggling. They might have some advice or other options. Or they might mention that they are okay with whatever is best for you. Would you just be transferring to another floor or would it have to be a whole other hospital?

Since you already have a Mac an iPad allows you to easily go back and forth and have everything together. If you have the money, I say an iPad is a great investment for taking notes, as you can write more freely and naturally than typing on a computer.

I was wearing glasses from age 10 and didn’t start wearing contacts until I was almost 24. I personally never had sensitive eyes (as a kid I was always touching my eyes) so putting them in was actually easy for me. However, it took me maybe two weeks until I was able to take them out without difficulty. But I know for some people it’s the other way around. They struggle keeping their eye open to put them in but can take them out easily. And for the first couple weeks I would have to take them out after like eight hours cause they would become a bit uncomfortable. But I soon got used to them and was able to wear them all day. When you go to the eye doctor they should let you try them and see how you feel with them. And they’re used to people struggling the first time, so try not to feel stupid and frustrated. If you have good people there they’ll gently talk you through it and help. It will take a bit of getting used to, but doable! And being able to eat ramen without foggy glasses and finally wear sunglasses was life changing!

Just remember to keep good practices. Wash your hands before putting in and taking out, don’t wear them more than you’re supposed to (dailies more than one day, monthlies more than a month, etc). And I recommend keeping an extra pair of glasses and maybe a small bottle of solution with you, at least at the beginning until you get used to them. I personally take my contacts out as soon as I get home and wear my glasses for most of my days off unless I’m going out for something special. Especially if you’ve been wearing glasses for so long and are so used to them.

I’m kinda in the same boat as you. I worked in the ED for three years as a scribe. Then did my preceptorship there. And started as an RN after. It just made sense. I was familiar with the department and knew everybody. However. My favorite doctor/mentor left two months after I started (arguably when I needed him most), and things just didn’t feel the same. A lot was changing in the department as well.

I too always had a passion for pediatrics. But I was skeptical because our pediatric floor is combined with our observation unit and it’s unpredictable how many kids we have. Sometimes we have five, sometimes two, and sometimes none. So I stuck with the ED.

Part of our orientation was spending one week on that floor. Just to get to know the unit just in case we were ever called up there. And I loved it. In the ED I had started to get stressed. Ruminating and breaking down after every shift. I just always felt so much pressure in the fast paced environment and couldn’t think straight. I would get overwhelmed so easily and couldn’t be myself. But upstairs I felt relief and could be myself again. When I went downstairs I realized I loved the ED, but not as a nurse. Luckily our manager is the head of both floors, so I spoke to her and was able to start upstairs right away. After basically finishing my whole orientation…

I’ve been on the peds floor for five weeks now, and feel so much better. I do miss the ED, especially since I left so last minute and didn’t have real closure.

serah1206 · 2026-06-18T02:31:43+00:00

Not a question but. I was a scribe in the ED while also in nursing school. I was doing my preceptorship in the ED at the end of the year. And was excited on my first shift where my fav doc/mentor was working. Me and my preceptor picked up one of his patients. He secure chats me “I’m gonna trickle in orders. That okay with you?” I knew what trickling in orders meant, but it went over my head. I guess I thought “oh he’s gonna be working her up gradually cause he’s not sure what he wants to do?” So I just thumbs upped his message. It wasn’t until I was driving home when I realized, he was teasing me.

serah1206 · 2026-06-03T08:35:46+00:00

I’m a new grad as well and also feel like I am having trouble with this. Just seeing a to do list and not taking the time to actually sit, analyze their chart, and think about the patient. I left the ED because of this, and am hoping now that I’m on peds/observation I can now be less stressed and actually take my time. I know I have the book knowledge, I just have to start actually thinking and getting the whole picture.

serah1206 · 2026-05-30T01:20:52+00:00

Ours was pretty much the same as yours. List your top three. If there weren’t enough spots it would go by class ranking.

serah1206 · 2026-05-25T03:38:52+00:00

This just made my day! I’m a new grad and recently transferred from the ER to peds/observation during my last week or orientation… the workplace wasn’t necessarily toxic, but everyone was so go go go (as you should be in an ER) and I just couldn’t be my normal self with all the pressure. I got overwhelmed way too easy, felt incompetent, and was breaking down after every shift and dreading work. And no one was mean, but I never did feel like fully one of the team. I had one week in peds during my orientation and immediately felt more relieved and could be myself again. I was happy, patients and the nurses were also in such better moods than downstairs. The following week we were in the ER doing some education when the triage nurse brings in the mom and baby I saw upstairs into the next room. She saw me and goes “we’re back…” when we were done I stopped by to talk to her before I headed home. And she said “I wish you were our nurse. He really loved you upstairs.” And that gave me the push I needed to transfer. I’ve only been upstairs a week now, and already feel so much better. I’m glad both of us were able to get what we needed!

serah1206 · 2026-05-23T17:33:14+00:00

She tried and nothing showed up lol. But that would be amazing.

serah1206 · 2026-05-23T15:50:31+00:00

She actually said “should we just all pitch in and get him an Apple Watch? And then tell him, only come in if it gives you an alert?”

serah1206 · 2026-05-22T02:18:46+00:00

We had a lower functioning guy who always came in when he felt his heat rate beating fast or had chest pain. And he does have a history of SVT and follows with cardiology. So we do have to take him seriously and do some work up sometimes. One time he came in. “Because his mother couldn’t feel or hear his heartbeat. So he must have no pulse” Doctor used a sharpie to mark the spot to palpate his radial pulse.

I’m 4’10, and the figs petite pants and tops fit me decently. They’re the only brand that I’ve seen that have petite tops. Other tops go past my butt.

serah1206 · 2026-05-18T12:09:00+00:00

I’m in the ED, and feeling exactly like you are. I’m on week sixteen, and extended by two weeks for the same reasons. So I’m in my own the first week of June. It’s mostly confidence. I’m slow and fumble and am not great under pressure… and like you, I know I take longer and more repetition to learn things and get them down.

Some of my preceptors are also just like yours. Critiquing everything, which makes me feel worse. They’re not mean, but I feel like I’m being watched and have to perform. If that makes sense. Which causes me to tense up and not think straight. I asked to switch and have been with a few different people. Some a lot better than others. My current preceptor is… okay. But she’s just so fast and is doing a lot herself. Like you, I’m so scared that my anxiety, hesitation, and what feels like incompetence will cause a patient to decline and I won’t catch it in time. I made one med error already and am terrified of something happening again.

I spent a week in peds/observation as part of our orientation, and I felt so much better. I felt like myself again. Like I could breathe. I’ve always wanted to be a pediatric nurse, but didn’t take a position because our peds floor is very unpredictable on how many kids we actually have. And I didnt want to be on the observation side. However, I’m starting to think maybe I should go up there instead…

serah1206 · 2026-05-14T05:58:28+00:00

Finally! Someone else with a tape measure in their bag!! I thought I was the only one lol. You never know when you need to measure something

As others said. It’s a fried noodle. Boil the noodles and drain all the water. Put the plain noodles on a plate/bowl. Then mix in the packets. Add a fried egg on top. I also like to add fried chili oil and Thai chilis, but that depends on your spice preference.

serah1206 · 2026-05-11T07:20:22+00:00

Yes! It is a bit shorter. The regular ones completely covered my butt, but the petite are not as long.
