i quit my old job of ten years to pursue what i went to school for for so long and i started on a med-surg floor last week. I am going to ccu after 6 weeks to do more orentation for another 6weeks. it also seems from rumors from this staff that this unit i am going to is bad..... they have trained over 3 new nurses for that unit recently! which just set my heart rate up... what i am going into?
Anyway, My preceptor is....ok? She a bit ruff but i feel like i am learning. But the first day i came home and cried. I was so overwhelmed and she wasnt to nice to me. I have had a few other precepters cause she took off and i liked that i got to see how it would be with other nurses. But i am still overwhelmed. I am trying my hardest to grasp it all and do it all right! well have seen 2 codes and had 2 deaths and i have only been a nurse 5 days total! I feel like a chicken with out a head when i am on the floor. UGgh its just so hard, but i keep plugging along.
Unfortunately my mil had a stroke yesterday and she is the one who care for my son while i go to work=( so i was left scrambling on who to call, who 2 tell i couldnt go in today. i ended up calling everyone and they told me it was ok and we would figure something out. How bad does it look that i am not able to work today.? I am trying to find some one to help me with my son but its not easy. I feel horriable for so many reasons I think i will be able to work 2 more days this week. And then i will have my husbands niece until August. I was planing on putting him preschool,daycare setting in september. I Cant put him there sooner do to his age. I just not sure how to proceed? am i gonna lose this job? I feel like i am stuck and i am not gonna just leave my son with anybody just because of a new job! Oh please tell me things will get better?
