Advice please

I have worked as a new grad nurse since August and I have been off orientation for almost two months. I know that I am not going to know everything starting out until I gain work experience. However I always feel disorganized and scattered in my thoughts when it comes to doing my list of priorities like I can not concentrate. I was wondering if any one had any advice to help!

I'm also a new grad with about the same amount of experience as you... :) One thing that helped me stay on top of tasks was coming up with a checklist of things that I needed to do each day and taping it to my clipboard where I keep my report sheets. Whenever I have one of those moments where I think "what should I be doing right now?" I check my list and see what still needs to be done for the day and attempt to prioritize.

...I'll be interested to hear what others suggest as well!

I feel you. I am still on orientation but have so much trouble focusing and attempting to multitask, that I have begun to question whether I might have ADD. I recommend writing everything down until it all becomes more familiar.
