one awful day

Published

Im sorry, but this job is insane!!!! Today a pt. found meds on his table. It seemed like Everyone quickly focused t o me, and it was NOT my mistake! yesterday, someone put an incident report in by accident under my name, and in the morning the manager immediately came to me thinking I made the error... when this happens i get freakd out , second guess myself.

Thats nothing. I had a young pt. today who simply manipulated me adn my preceptor and everyone else he could all DAY LONG. abusive behavior, self destructing behavior, I could NOT stay out of the room for twenty minutes without something going on in therre. I am drained to the max. Im sure I had a mini melt down today and that didnt look good:angryfire

My preceptor is very experienced, but I dont have much autonomy lately, everyone seems to be on my ass and I can t gain the confidence this way.

THe past few days I feel like "what have I done". I hope I can deal.

Specializes in none, still looking.

make sure you really know what to do before you do it, b/c your preceptor can get you in trouble if you do something wrong, try to come off orientation it looks better in the long run.
