would like to share my evaluation by my Head OR nurse

after 6 months in the probationary program, my OR head nurse said that Im fast, quick and efficient. But sometimes I often commit mistakes (I.e. giving the wrong instruments to the doctor). She said that the quicker and faster i move, the more errors i commit. Im sad, because in the OR you have to move quickly and efficiently but at the same time you have to think your actions correctly so that you would lessen your errors.

My co-probationary colleague(?) according to my head nurse is better than me in some aspects. I know she is but it sometimes hurt that you are compared to someone.

Im doing my best and giving it my all but it seems my head nurse isnt that impressed.

how about you? what did you do to be an excellent OR nurse?

thanks a lot
