Thank you all so much

I graduated, wrote my NCLEX, and got a job on the floor I consolidated on. I just finished training and I'm on my own. I feel so overwhelmed and close to tears each shift. I love helping others but I get so stressed with how much I don't know and running around with my head cut off the whole shift. I'm not sure what to do or if this is normal, it's making me a miserable even when I'm not working and I dread going in. I'm currently working on a medicine floor. Anyone have an advice or suggestions? Is this a normal feeling? Thanks!

Thanks for your words of wisdom, you make valid points. Hopefully, I'll become more confident with time :)

I have one more term left until I graduate and become an RN but lately I'm feeling overwhelmed like I'm too dumb or incompetent to be a nurse. I can't imagine being on my own. I forget little things (like supplies or certain steps) and feel overwhelmed with my critical thinking skills. Did or do any of you ever feel like this? Or have any tips or advice to get me past this slump? Thanks!!

Hey there! I can offer some insight about the MoMac program as I am just finishing my last semester this Fall. The program is highly recognized by a lot of hospitals however, it is very research based and less hands on which is disappointing (in my opinion). The basic stream students receive first choice (Mac stream, Mohawk stream, and then Mohawk RPN-BScN) of placements. I heard that the Conestoga-Mac program is slightly better but not totally sure. I hope this helps. Goodluck with your program!
