First Week as an RNA

I survived my first week as a RNA (register nurse applicant).  Monday & Tuesday was hospital orientation.  We learn about a lot of policies/procedures and had a lot of people come in to talk to us.  We had lots of paperwork to fill out and information to learn. 

On Wednesday we started our Nursing Orientation which I blogged about HERE.  On Thursday & Friday we were also on the floor observing ONLY....Joint Commissions was there so we weren't allowed to do any patient care because we haven't finished orientation.

We go back to the classroom this week for 7 days...hopefully we will learn a lot and be ready to start working on the floor June 30.
