So I'm a new nurse at a LTC facility. It's my first nursing job and when I got hired the DON and assistant DON told me it will be normal and okay for me to be slow at med pass. I have anywhere from 20-30 patients I have to care for...during my orientation some of the nurses were just really rude to me or talked to me in a condescending way. Well I had a 2 week orientation. And I've been there for not even 2 months. Last night at shift change I was counting the narcotics with the NOC nurse. There was one pill left for a routine pain medication. Granted I owned up to the mistake of not following up with pharmacy about it because I thought new card arrived, but it was a different pain medication for the same patient with a similar name. Either way she yelled at me in front of our coworkers at the nurses station and told me if I do this again she's making me drive to the pharmacy...So I'm in an office next to the nurses station to use a computer to finish my documenting. The door is open so I hear the same nurse talking **** about me to the other nurses. I am just beyond frustrated, I already had a rough shift. All of my beds are full and half of my patients want their meds at specific times and get upset with me if I'm late. I just feel so stressed and behind schedule, I truly want to quit. How do I deal with all of this?

Hello, I recently accepted my first RN position with a company that does immunizations. From the interview it sounds like I will just be doing flu shots. The only vaccine I've ever given was the pneumonia vaccine during clinicals. I'm not too nervous about it but it's the first job I've gotten since graduating last year. So any tips or any helpful information would be appreciated :) thanks in advanced
