So I'm working in a very busy ER. I started in Feb on Dayshift for orientation and have now been put on nights for my permanent shift. I HATE it!! I enjoyed the job on day shift but hate it on nights. The people are so rude. I had my first night last week and I felt like everything I did was wrong with my preceptor. Like on days I was told to put Pepcid in a 50cc bag of NS and run it over a few minutes, instead of standing there and pushing it over 5 minutes, and my night preceptor rolled her eyes at me when I did it. Then I went to find a pump to hang my levaquin and I got told "this isn't how we do it on nights. Unless its Azithromycin or comes from pharmacy you just eyeball it." I just feel like everything I'm doing is wrong now. They don't help each other out or anything. Its seriously making me hate going into work. My fiance works days and I feel like I don't see him for 2-3 days at a time between our schedules. Does it ever get better??
