Feeling like crap today

[motivated2nurse]

My confidence is down, Im tired, and I just dont know who to talk to .......................My manager called me today and said that she thought it would be a good idea if I have 2 more weeks of orientation to feel more confortable when Im off..............I agree......But I felt that I was doing well. My preceptor tell me everyday that Im doing well and know this..........I dont trust her and I really need off of orientation.....2 weeks wont kill me........but I dont know how to respond to her, should I just act phony and seem as if I super duper nurse or what???????????????? Help, I hate being the new nurse, the new grad, just new

I think you should believe your preceptor when she says you are doing well.

I think you should thank your lucky stars you work in a place that is concerned enough about your eventual success to offer you an extra 2 weeks instead of throwing you to the wolves as many places do.

Don't filter things as meaning a personal gripe about you. You will be very unhappy if you do. No need to act like anything other than yourself who is hopefully taking advantage of the extra learning they are offering you. I think if it were me, I would thank them. :)
