Pressure to hurry vs desire to learn my job

Continue to work only as fast as you SAFELY can. You will become more efficient with time.

I'm sure the "seasoned" nurse on your floor was slow when she started nursing as well. Speed and accuracy come with time. (Evidently quite a bit of time, as I'm still pretty slow compared to others!). I prefer safety to speed, however. It's safer for my pts, and my license. Get used to disparaging remarks by other nurses, and learn to let them have their opinions. Some nurses are just plain mean, while others are misguided in their attempts to help. At least you don't have to take them home with you!

Sometimes, the ones that are claiming you are too slow are leaving things out that need to be done. It does take a while to adjust to the demands and manage your time. If it does become a problem, speak to the nursing supervisor and ask for her opinion on how she feels you are working.
