Lost

Published

I got a job on a Renal Tele floor as my first job as a new RN. Crazy floor. However, I needed longer orientation and feeling distraught. I finally came to terms that the floor was not a good fit for me. Or is nursing not a fit for me? My boss told me she hopes this experience doesn't leave a bad taste in my mouth about nursing.

Feeling lost. I need a job, but I feel like I should stay away from hospitals. Flashbacks and the shame that I didn't succeed. But who would hire someone with almost no hospital experience?

I got my first hospital job in september in a busy ER. I am almost at the end of my orientation and i am terrified !! I am doubting myself, can I really do this on my own? my preceptor still tells me I am not prioritizing my patients and my time managment skills are still not there yet. some days i feel like im drowning, other days I feel like i got a hang of things. I am terrified to be on my own.

someetimes i think of leaving and I wonder why i left my other job for this but I know this will help me with my nursing foundation and skills, and make me look more marketable.
