I started my first job in late October and by early Dec. I quit my job. I worked on a medicine floor with 6 patients on day shift. Everytime I was without a preceptor I couldn't keep up with anything. I couldn't get my meds. out on time, I had no idea where or why my patients were going (for procedures and such), and most of the time I didn't even know why they were admitted. The other nurses were wonderful in helping me, but they were taking care of their patients and mine half the time. I asked for night shift to give it a try, but my supervisor said it would only be harder for me. Left with no other options to try, I backed out. Now, I'm starting search for another job, but I'm afraid of another failure and a bad resume. I would like to be a travel RN one day but I know I need experience on a med./surg. floor. I cried all the time on the med. floor and had nightmares every night. I hated it. I have no idea what other floors I should try. How do I know what I will like if I haven't worked any yet. I don't think I'll ever make it as a nurse. I feel like I need to get the basics, but where and how. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
