Recently started in a home where I work alone and no one else around to ask questions of. It's lonely and scary. Things eat me up. I'm scared of making the "fatal mistake". I'd like to leave my job and just carry on with the rest of the day instead of beating myself up. What's happened. Can anyone share some insight. I'd like to start anew but not sure which way to turn. Give me the biggest rock to crawl under please.
Maybe you are working in the wrong setting. The beauty of nursing is there are lots of options outside of ltc and hospitals. Hang in there and don't get down on your self! Trust your instincts and your education. Let us know how you are doing
