new icu nurse did I make thew right decision

[nurserev]

My preceptor has said that becauswe i am focused and task oriented i will not make a good icu nurse.... I like to be organized and she says that takes up too much time and i'll not get stuff done.....she spent a day interupting me everytime i started to organize myself........she efven told me thta writing down i and o takes up too much time.......so where would a person who is organized and foccused go as a nurse?????

your preceptor lacks self confidence and she is jealous of your ICU skills. Organization is utmost. Writing things down and not trusting everything to memory can save your butt and your patients. keep up the good work. you'll make an awesome ICU nurse.

Focus, organized and task oriented are wonderful traits for an ICU nurse. Please don't let your preceptor turn you against that type of nursing. You will go far.
