Do not know what to do please help.

Hello

I've got an important question. I'm about to finish. I've had issues along the way including a year out for mental health issues. Anyway my question is this:

how do you you know what needs done? When you have your own patients how do you know what needs done when and what to do? I feel like I know many different tasks but my worry is worrying about taking care of a group of patients. The worry is having a hand over then saying what do I do next and why?

thanks

You prioritize. That's something you should be working on throughout your entire nursing program and be half-way decent at by graduation. It's not something that can be taught or explained in a few paragraphs.

Thank you. I think I'm just freaking out. It's something I failed on my last clinical placement over a year ago. However at the time I was clinically depressed due to untreated ADHD and had to take a year out to focus on my mental health. I didn't study enough at the time either.
