Anybody feels the same?

Hello All.

I got licensed a little over 1 year ago as an RN after moving from Germany. There I was working in the ED for almost 4 years and I loved it. So the decision was easy to stick with it. I got a job at a level 1 ER. Documentation was very hard for me as in comparison to Germany you have to document every single eye blink. I had to learn to reorganize myself again and felt like I had never worked in that job before. It was very hard on me because I'm always trying to be perfect and it was just not possible. It felt so weird coming from a place where you were familiar with your job, where people asked you questions because you were the one who knew. Now I feel stupid about constantly asking people and even thou I'm getting out on time now and emails from my boss about things I missed documenting are getting less and less it doesn't feel right. Back home I loved going to work, no matter what time a day no matter what day of the week. Here and now I'm looking around for alternatives. Trying to figure out what career path might suit me. Asking myself if I made the right decision by coming here. Somewhere back then and now the love for the job got lost.

    Hang in there! Once you get used to the routine, it won't be so bad and you will be able to enjoy your work as you had before.

    I've been a nurse for only a few years but when I started out, I just really hated going to work and I doubted myself very much. It didn't help that the staff wasn't all that supportive, but I just kept on working, trying to get better at the work routine and figuring out ways to to make myself more efficient. I also kept studying because I realized that in Nursing, as with some other fields, one can never stop learning or even refreshing ourselves on stuff we've already gone over. And you know what? I eventually got the hang of it and enjoy my work more and more.

    And so will you. Just keep going to work, keep learning the routine and sooner or later, people are going to start coming to you for all the answers just as before. You've done it once before - you can do it again!
