Re: Afraid of giving report, need adivse please!
I'm a GN, just finished my third day on orientation. I worked on the floor for 2 years as a Nurse's Aide so I got the hard part of getting used to the floor out of the way. I'm writing because my preceptor on my second day asked me if I wanted to tape on one or two people and I quickly said no. Like most, I was terrified, of talking into a recorder and not forgetting anything important. Also, my preceptor said I wouldn't be taping for quite awhile and this was only my second day. Then I thought, I'm never going to get anywhere if I don't start now. So like planned I taped on two patients. I finished and was so pleased with myself that I had actually done it and well for the most part with a little help. Today I went in and I said, I'd like to tape again. So I was going to tape on the same patients as yesterday, and I did. But then I continued and sure enough I had all 10 patients taped on. So for anyone else just starting like me, don't be nervous, its really not that bad, RELAX, you can do it. Good Luck
