How do I tell the RAI Coordinator that I am not ready to do RAI yet without looking like an idiot?

Basically I was working 1500-2300 hrs shifts but they told me that they will train me for RAI. After 2 days I already knew it wasn't for me at this time. On the first day the coordinator told me "Let me know if it isn't for you so we aren't wasting anyones time. It's nothing personal". I already said no at first but she insisted on me giving it a try. 

 

I have only been a Nurse since Apr 2020, and the work is quite a lot. It is interesting but I love the bedside care and all that. Thing is too like its not consistent training, its like they trained me 2 days each week, then I work my usual work on the floor then back to the 2 day training and sometimes I am on my own with no guidance at all. I heavily prefer working on the floor even though its stressful at times it beats doing RAI. They chose me to do RAI because my documentation was "excellent", but every Nurse should be excellent anyways. I don't want to feel like I am letting anyone down or anything but I don't want to do something I don't like. And when the coordinator was training me and the other guy she was also doing her own work so its not like it was 2 days dedicated to us. Knowing the assessments on the computer are also a challenge and knowing where to find things, which will take time as well.

 

Plus to me it feels like doing an assignment at school which I am not a fan of.

Its just a type of Nursing that I am not used too. Maybe thats why? And my brain works in consistency, I don't want to do bedside and then do RAI. I don't think I can give it my best for either if that was the case.

You have been told to just give it a try. You will certainly not look like an idiot, if you clearly state  that you feel you need to focus on learning patient care.

I understand that learning an additional skill , so early on, can seem daunting. As I said before... I think this experience will be VERY valuable to you in the future.

Thank you. I just feel at this time I want to learn the floor first or at least be close to mastering it. Then I can move on.
