I am a brand new nurse working in a high acuity critical care unit of a large hospital and am due to come off the residency program in 10 days. My preceptor however, thinks I may need a few extra days because I have having trouble getting everything done on time as we often are out late due last minute tasks or charting. I use sticky notes and write down times of of when tasks need to be done, a to do list, etc. but I still have trouble getting everything done and breaks taken. It is just so busy and there is so much to do! We are on 12 our shifts and I didn't even get my first break until 4:00 yesterday! I am not sure what to do, but I know I want to be on my own and I don't want to continue longer in the residency program. Any advice?

I've used a little lotion on my gloves while milking it. Helps a little.
