being a new grad... ;(

Keep on moving!

Within a couple of weeks you will develop an efficient routine that works for you. When I first started, I felt as if I was drowning in all of the tasks that were my responsibility. However, efficiency and grace will come with the passage of time. Good luck!

I am sorry you are having a hard time, Im a new grad, with two more days orientation, . Im sure I will be in the same boat in a couple of days!

Make sure you eat. I don't care how busy you are, bring a sandwich or something to keep your sugars at a decent level. Yesterday, I had 8 thousand things to do, and I went to lunch anyways. Still got done by 3pm, some of my treatments had to wait a while, but it wasn't critical.

D0nt Worry!...Im goin through the same thing as you, so I definitely know how u feel with the meds and n0 arm band. It's okay to ask staff for help when identifying a client or for any questions at all; its better to ask questions rather than risk your license..I work at a mental health rehabilitation center, a new grad, and just beggining with orientation and they are already having me be the med nurse/tx nurse and lvn unit supervisor. It's crazy, just have confidence and youll get through it. we can d0 it!...of course itll feel awkward to us in the beginning but soon enough well be great nurses!..Keep ur head up~! =)
