last week then on my own! so scared

i have had a total of 12weeks orientation 6weeks on med-surg and 6weeks on my tele step down unit. i have had the last 2 weeks orienting to nights. I feel like i have learned a lot but...so scared to be on my own!!!!!!!!!!!! I know everyone is really nice and helpful. But its so scary and i have discussed with my manager about more time. I asked him if he felt it was necessary and how i should feel. he said he had talked to my preceptor and had no doubt in his mind i was ready. There were specific things he asked about ..med safety, report. HE told me that I would probably never feel ready. and that it was normal. any adv?

I think it's pretty normal to not feel ready.

I agree with it being normal. However, make sure that you have the support around you that you will undoubtly need during this transition. Even then, ask for 2 more weeks if you really feel it is necessary... I did, and it was well worth it!

Wow where do you work to get 12 weeks of orientation?

I am pretty darn scared myself! I only have 1 more shift before I am on my own and I have felt less confident these last few shifts. There doesn't seem to be enough time in my days to do provide the best care and reviewing patient's charts. I am normally a confident person but have been feeling pretty inadequate! I am sure we will get better with time and I know my coworkers will help me if I need!hang in and good luck!
