I need advice please. I’ve worked as a nurse with a BSN for 6 months; and I’m terrible at it. The patients like me, but that’s just bedside manner. I continue to do things wrong. I made one medication error where I didn’t have the correct time. No one was hurt, but this mistake is huge and I have really tried hard to be a good nurse however I just can’t cut it. I work on a busy telemetry stepdown floor for mostly cardiac patients post TAVR. I am book smart, not nurse-on-the-floor smart. My question is what can I do with my BSN career now? Are there any options? I’m willing to go to graduate school but what can I do to with a BSN besides this?
p.s I doubt the hospital would hire me on any other floor, even an “easier” one. I failed here, I’m unsafe as a floor nurse.
