I had my first NIGHTMARE!!!

Hello all!~

I had my first nursing nightmare. I graduate this Friday with my ASN and start my GN job on 6/3 on a Tele floor. Anywho, my dream went like this:

I showed up to my floor and got my patient assignment. I entered my first patients room and proceeded to spend 5 WHOLE HOURS just talking to the patient in their room. When I finally left the room at 1pm, I freaked b/c I realized I didnt even know if I had any other patients and I hadnt passed any meds on anyone! I then started to run around b/c I didnt know what else to do. I went up to the charge nurse, but she basically told me tough noogies......ugh!! I woke up all sweaty and breathing hard!:eek:

LOL.anyone else?? I admit..im getting increasingly nervous as my start date approaches.

LOL funny

You guys don't know how lucky you are that you have a place you can come talk about this stuff. It is over 40 years since I had my "new nurse nightmares". I remember feeling so all alone and having no one to reassure me that this happened to a lot of people. At the time I wondered if perhaps I was losing my mind. Back then if I would have said something to someone they would have replied, "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen" or something to that affect. It was not a supportive enviroment for new nurses. So I just had to keep things to my self. I remember being hazed by aides and other staff members and dealing with that on my own also. All the things I hear newbies talk about here ever day has been going on a long time..
