First day as agency nurse, asked to do admission

Agency nurses are NEW at their position. Someone could have helped you with this new admit. For the love of man, you were new and just started that day. I know many agencies expect their nurses to "hit the ground running", but when there is NO ground, how can that be possible? I don't like the answers that I see here for your post. You passed your meds, had charting to do, a new admit, didn't get to leave until 3 am and looks like you did more than was expected of you. No way in this world would I have been able to keep up with that amount of work. I wouldn't have done it. I would have spoken to someone and told them that as an agency nurse you want to be part of the team, but need to have at least a few days to learn your way around the facility and get your bearings.

I hear the complaints coming already... hear that? Complain away anyone who has something more to add. We nurses are NOT miracle workers.
