I have been a pct 2 months now working part time and I am still kind of struggling. My floor gets around 6-7 patients per pct. I am somewhat forgetful sometimes. It's not like I am just sitting around doing nothing but the fact is I am so busy, I tend to forget to do certain things (ex. forget to chart how much patient urinated or leaving dirty gowns or towels in washroom)
I am not sure If I am just making excuses, but I constantly get call lights and I get called by three different nurses to do so many things at the same time, which makes me forget to do certain things. Its to the point where I am getting somewhat depressed because I am pretty sure some of these nurses hate me now.
Timing of everything screws me up all the time. (i would get 2 discharges and 1 admission, all within 30 min)
I just wanted to know, am i just making excuses or is this somewhat common for new pcts?
