RINurse

Thanks for responding.. I have been told that I need to be more indendent AND that I should feel free to ask questions. Does this make sense? I told myself that I will stick it out and try it for at least a year. If I don't feel better about things by then I will consider other options. Are there people who you've seen that want to be there but just can't hack it?

Hello all, I have been a nurse for a little over 2 years and just recently (2 months ago) have transferred to the PICU in my hospital. I was very much bored on my floor. I wanted to learn more about A&P, fine tune my assessment skills, and be more of a part of the team. I have pedi experience and love to learn, but I just don't feel like I'm doing well enough. The only feedback I am getting is that I need to start to become more idependent and trouble shoot more on my own (I am still in orientation). How do I know if I belong there? If I am smart enough to be there? Think quickly enough? Are smart enough? I don't think that I've done anything terribly wrong (or stupid).. I just don't know if I'm the right person for the job. Thanks for reading and any help offered!
