hello,
I am in a new grad program at kaiser in the med/surg department. I have been on the floor for a couple of days and feel very lost and overwhelmed!!!!!! :smackingf The real world of nursing is way different than when I was a nursing student. I feel that I am not organized and all over the place. the training program is 8 weeks long. I feel that 8 weeks is not enough--at least that is what I say now.
Does it get better?? easier?? any advise is very much appreciated.
thanks

I just wanted to say, hang in there! I am not a nurse yet, but my friend went through this, and it does get easier! I'm thinking of you!

It will get better with time. Be kind to yourself - learn all you can in your 8 week orientation. I think most people feel this way when they start a new job, not to mention starting your 1st nursing job! Congratulations on your tremendous accomplishments.
