Well said!

I created a "Brain Sheet" when I first became a nurse, and over the years it has evolved. I have a column for Pt. Name/Dr. Name Room # Diagnosis/ Treatments/Med times and a small area on the edge for notes, I.e. VS or things I need to remember. You will get the hang of it. It takes time, but work on a sheet to help with your organization. It helps me to see thing checked off. You could also have a column for labs/tests to complete too. Hope this helps. Good Luck! Welcome to the profession

I would go to the director of HR, have them pull a copy of your job requirements. If you are fulfilling your required shifts, I would file a formal complain against the manager and have her remove that bit from your evaluation. I agree with the others, she is trying to guilt you into picking up shifts. We all have our unique family/life stressors and challenges. I would look for a different job. I left my dream job because of a manager giving me extra duties, not in my job description, because she thought I wasn't busy (I'm just well organized). The extra duties were actually HER Duties. Good Luck,

Great Advice! I remember as a new nurse feeling the same way in unfamiliar situations. Experience is an excellent teacher. Find someone you admire their conduct/ethics and ask questions. No question is a dumb question. It just takes time. Hang in there. Welcome to the profession, the hardest job you will ever love.
