First time on the floor ever!

How much longer if training do you have?

What system are you using?

What type of faculty are you working in?

Don't feel discouraged! Everyone is nervous on their first job and charting is always scary you get better over time honestly. I still suck and I've been a nurse over a year! You might feel slow and always behind, but it's cause you're still learning your rhythm. Don't worry too much. Don't stress

Thank you. I'm working in a long term facility, eMAR, as long as I want until I feel more comfortable. I just feel so slow in a way lol.

I can't exactly remember the system it is lol

Ltc is tough. You have a big pt load. Just remember everyone in the beginning started out sucking at it. They were slow, didn't know all the meds, second guessed everything. Just relax. You will learn everything over time.

Take lots of notes and when something is happening ask if you could watch or have someone teach you. It's all a learning experience in the beginning.

Thank you for such great advice.

Thank you

We ALL felt that way at first. You just learned to walk- and are comparing yourself to marathoners. You'll get there- it does get better.

Four months in to my job at LTC I finally have got the hang of it. It is complicated work with a lot of minutia to remember. You will get it, it becomes about the flow and getting the flow takes time. Hang in there.

I'm glad to see the encouragement here. You will be fine, don't get discouraged. As many have said, we've all been there wondering "what the hell did I get myself into?" but then the puzzle all starts to fall together and one day you'll just feel in your element. Remember how you feel now, the encouragement you've gotten, and pass that on to the next new nurse you see struggling when the time comes.
