So i just graduated with a BSN degree in 2011. I am on my last 3 months of orientation. However, I was not able to find a job until 6 months later at a rehab hospital. Because it has been 6 month and I have a really short term memory, I feel like I forgot almost everything I learned in school. When patients asked me questions or when I am in a situation that involves critical thinking, such as looking for sign and symptoms, i feel so lost and stupid. I should know these things because I learned it. I feel so overwhelmed. i cant seem to get my information together, my preceptor told me that my reports sounds a little choppy when I have to give a report to a doctor. And the doctors get frustrated at me because they have to repeat themselves. Im a little quite and shy as well therefore it makes nursing a harder for me. I'm starting to question rather I am fit to be a nurse. I come home feeling really sad and disappointed in myself. I need some advice. =(
