Please don't feel that way. For some people it just takes a little more time. Nursing is not an easy job. Period. I'm sure you need to give yourself a little more credit. Sometimes, we're our own worst critics. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Just keep the books cracked. You'll be fine. And if you still need help, find someone you admire and adpot them as your personal mentor. Stay strong!

Congradulations on your first day alone! I'm sure you walked out of there feeling estatic (but still worn out, lol). Keep up the good work and positive attitude.

Lol, you sold me on the "take it to the priest" comment. My two cents... sometimes people who've been through a lot in their lives tend to become emotionally disconnected. They become harsh and hardended to the rest of the world. Who knows what her life couod be like outside of those four walls? Another one of her problems may just be that she feels as though she's the HBIC. As if her seniority over you is an excuse to disrespect and reprimand you. Who knows? There's just too much going on and too much to do to investigate. I say the next time you have a question, approach someone else. She's just not worth the effort.
