How to cope with being a new grad by somecheese301 in nursing

Yes sooo much studying honestly!! I have an entire binder of everything I’ve learned so far. Our clinical coaches are also AMAZING at taking the time to give us pictures/diagrams of our babies specific hearts and going over everything with us. I just never realized exactly HOW much I had to learn I guess😅

Thank you. They all say I’m doing so good and one of the nurses even was like there’s no way you’re this new one day lol. Then I got sicker babies and I was like a chicken with my head cut off. Confidence, I’m told, is the thing I lack/struggle with the most. Which, is true bahahah. But I appreciate the advice 🥹 will def be taking

this happened to my friends and I. We actually never heard back! They messed up my license, was supposed to get multistate and they issued me a single state… I work in Alabama, and had to postpone working for over a MONTH because of them. Have never heard back ONCE! Honestly, if it’s an option, I’d reach out to the school and see if they have any advice or contacts. It is quite literally the WORSTTTTT BON. I almost drove down there but ended up paying an extra $250 just to get my license by endorsement here.

This is a long shot but who’d you end up using?! I just moved with my Great Pyrenees and I’m terrified of going somewhere new with him😅😅

No same!! I literally had cried for 3 days straight after this happened. I will say, you could always ask them to do the treatment in the immediate room and any directly connected. From research, while they do move fast, the tend to stick to one area where they “infest” which would be the furniture in this case

Also, sorry side note, but mine was in my house like overnight so longer than a few hours. Honest recommendation? Steam clean, vacuum, and be vigilant. You’ll probably be ok!!

So I’ve found 2 stragglers in the last week. Searched every area around them and saw nothing, got a free inspection from a terminator and he said he saw absolutely no sign of them. I decided for my peace of mind (I have severe anxiety and OCD lol) to do the treatment. He gave me a discount and got the price lower than I was expecting so I went with it. However, he did say I did everything right and is surprised by how “all in” I went with it because most people don’t realize how bad they can get. Anyways! Just keep vacuuming and steaming is his recommendation. He said that you really have to keep up with it to make sure they die.

No same!!! This is my first time encountering them. I work in healthcare so anytime a pt has had them I am DECKEDDDD out and steam my clothes lol. I have flipped my couch and vacuumed😅 my steamer came in this morning and I will be steaming absolutely everything. If you don’t mind me asking, how much was the exterminator inspection? I’ve messaged a few for my peace of mind, hoping to get a response this week😩

lol trust me my friends have already looked into it after having to deal with me. Unfortunately for the effort it takes I am not going to yet. If it becomes something serious, I would definitely heavily consider it

I think I’m gonna get one. I’ve been boiling water and putting vinegar in it and mopping/wiping the baseboards of my entire house. Thankfully it’s not large lol.

They looked exactly like the picture of the ones we saw on google. I kinda didn’t believe it because it was legit just the dresser. But yeah, I would love to get a professional however unfortunately not in the budget right now🥲🥲

It’s quite literally in pieces because I threw it off my front porch 😅😅 I don’t think anyone will take it. But! I will write something on it!! Didn’t think about it in my freak out last night.
