Scared to death I am going to lose my license

It's always nerve-racking to start a new job and there are always gonna be people who make you feel stupid or not good enough so don't do that to yourself! I mean, I did and still do, but we shouldn't!

Just never get to where you think you know everything and always ask questions!

Chin up!

What you have is a lack of self confidence and assertiveness. If someone needs to know the information you are trying to communicate, and they are busy jacking their jaw or not paying attention, then it's time for you to tell them to be quiet and listen up to what you have to say. If you are still doing your secretary job, then it's time to go to your superiors and tell them you are no longer a secretary, you are a nurse, and they need to hire a new secretary or else pay you for both jobs.

All you have to do is act assertively in a situation where a lot of people can see you.. after that, you will get lots more respect from everyone. So if it's not natural for you to be assertive, you don't have to be that way all the time.

Also, worry and stress causes you to make mistakes. Worrying about making mistakes actually increases your chances of making one. You graduated from school and passed the NCLEX. You may be new, but you are qualified to do your job.

I also like the idea of reviewing exactly what constitutes a violation that can make you lose your license. It might help put you at ease.

Remember Rod Stewart's song, "Every picture tells a story dont it?" I just noticed your username is "tolerantgirl", Uh Uh....consider something like, "brave one" or "irrefutable differences". Puff up your chest and leave a trail, don't take the path of least resistance and you'll see amazing changes.
