Hi everyone. I'm a new nurse that needs a bit of advice. I graduated a year and a half ago with my associates degree and worked in a clinic till I graduated with my BSN in May. I just got hired at a hospital in New York and have completed my first week on the unit with my preceptor. The floor is a medical surgical unit. Unfortunately, I have forgot a lot of information and lost a lot of skill due to the time period in which I was working at the clinic, which pretty much only included vaccinations and nebulizer treatments. I am losing confidence and wondering is nursing is for me being that I need to ask my preceptor to show me EVERYTHING, including something as simple as priming a line. In addition, I made 3 mistakes today on the unit- one was sending labs to the pharmacy instead of the laboratory; the 2nd was giving a renal patient orange juice, and the 3rd was documenting the shift physical for one patient under the column the previous shift had documented for. I am looking for some advice as to whether mistakes at this point do happen often with new nurses and if things do get better.
