Looking for some tips/input

Hi,

so I have now been practicing as a RN for a year. Unfortunately it was not completely in one setting because I had to quit one position for personal reasons unrelated to the position.. I have been doing hospice nursing now for 6 months. Some days I love it and others not so much. My main issue is that my skills need work. and by that I primarily mean catheter placement on a women and lab draws, both of which I have only been able to try once and have been unsuccessful. I have literally BEGGED To have opportunities to learn these skills, begged to learn a lot, but since staff is short like everywhere that's not very feasible. I do a whole lot of wound care which I like, and feel okay about port flushes/Picc lines and male catheters. Every skill I have done has been a go out and figure it out on your own and watch a YouTube video before you get there scenario.. Is that a good way to learn? It doesn't seem so to me, because there is no opportunity for constructive criticism or feedback. Not to mention, the type of care that gives a patient. I know that what I need is acute care experience to build a foundation, but in my area jobs are limited. I have been applying for well over a year and will continue. In my area it's very hard to get these positions unless you have "connections". I will keep trying. Thoughts ? Suggestions in general?
