How do I become a better nurse?

Published

Hi there. I have been struggling for some time with the nursing field. Is this my dying passon? No. But I want to make it in this field by obviously working hard. I dont know why, but every time I am shadowing a nurse/precepted by a nurse, I get the feeling they dont actually want to help. There's always missing information and I have to fish it out. The first few days are okay, then it usually goes downhill from there. No matter how eager I seem, how curious, it never seems to be enough. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, in the wrong career, or if I am paired with the wrong instructors.

Specializes in not really.

@mmc51264 thanks for your insight, it doesn't necessarily have to be just a printed sheet, that's just an example. I currently feel that her style of teaching just doesnt work for me despite me vocalizing multiple times she needs to slow down. Either way, I'm taking charge of my own learning and carefully evaluating daily what I still need and what I'm improving on. not giving up. thanks anyway!

I am trying to help!!!! I know it is very difficult when you are the learner. Keep communicating and communicate to your manager.

It would be sad if you eel burnt out or don't get the preparation that you need.
