RMRN16

Hey! After nursing school I was hired on to an Oncology Unit as a brand new nurse which is exactly where I wanted to be, I was beyond excited. Orientation for the unit lasted 8 weeks, and those 8 weeks flew by. On orientation I made a mistake and accidentally ran D5W instead of D5 NS. My preceptor caught it after about 15 minutes and said it wasn't a huge deal but that I need to learn from it. I felt completely distraught. I can't believe I made such an easily avoidable mistake. It has shattered my confidence. I've been on my own for a total of 3 shifts now and I'm so terrified of making a mistake. I feel very discouraged because sometimes I feel clueless. I had a total of 3 night shifts on orientation and now starting off orientation i'm going right into night shifts. I feel like I don't have the experience to know what to report and not report. I get anxiety going into a shift because I don't know what to expect and I'm afraid i'm going to walk in and someone will tell me that I have made a mistake. I keep thinking that even though I love nursing, maybe it's not something i'm good at.
