Be prepared for lifelong learning.
Registered Nurse (RN):
Be prepared for lifelong learning and never stop asking questions. Grab every opportunity to learn. You can never have too much experience no matter who you are. Be courteous. Through teamwork, be prepared to support one and another and don't forget yourself. Make sure you are enjoying it. The moment your energy for learning stops then you must stop. Nursing is all about passion. That means facing the perks and the stress, daily but having the mindfulness to know your limitations. Ask, learn and enjoy!

Registered Nurse (RN):
Pros: Some great friends and coworkers.
Cons: Managment doesn't fix problems along the way but waits until things descend into chaos and completely fall apart, it's dumbfounding to watch them do it over and over and at every level.
January 2016
The truth.
Registered Nurse (RN):
Pros: My co-workers in my shift are team players, we all help each other, to the best of what we have.
Cons: The nurse-patient ratios are, to my experience, unsafe. Given a 1:6-7 ratio, acuity of the patient's needs, census of 26-28, with 4 nurses, 1 aide. Preventing falls, med errors, maintaining patients satisfaction, timely interventions, rn mediating bet. MD and patients and family request for plan of care and updates, timely documentation, and implementing all hospital policies (infection control, visitation times, education of patient and family, smoking, etc), MD orders to be carried out, rechecking or follow up on procedures, labs, and diagnostics, given the no. Of personel at hand to carry these out are not congruent to the outcomes expected. Management has been promising to hire more, but this has been going on for the last 3 yrs. Many are leaving because of the stressful environment, and hiring new ones to replace them are not timely. More have left than the no. Of people being hired.
