Nurses New Nurse

I am a new grad in a nursing home and the job is so demanding, yesterday I cried because I had so much work to get done. First I had 2 admissions, and the doctor had visit so tons of chat to check and pick up orders, plus I had to do and chat 24 hours report. Well when I went to work my ADN was upset because the night nurse complaint that I did not pick up some of the oders, my God I never get a lunch break, she was screaming so hard, I felt huniliated, I started to cry, then the inservice coordinator call me and said I need to manage my time well, I always clock out after 11, because there is so much to get done, please help me tell me how can I manage my time well, thanks guys

What is scary to me is that I am wondering if the situation would be much better in a new place. I am not trying to throw a cloud on the parade...it just makes me wonder. People are highly overworked from what I have read here and what I have seen for many years. I wish you luck!!

First of all you should not be screamed at by anyone in your workplace!!!!! Not especially your ADN, can you talk to the DON? Me personally I would find another place to work

Good advice, find somewhere where you get the support that you need and that you will be more appreciated. You should be able to look forward to going to work not dread it. Find a hospital that has good c.e. available and that will nurture your growth.

my prayers are with you on your journey.
