You could not have said it better LaceyRN12. I am on my own on Saturday after a short 5 weeks of orientation. I was bounced around from person to person. I was with a total of at the LEAST nine different people and three nights of sitting in front of a computer reviewing policies and procedures. I'm not even scheduled to be working with my original preceptor when I'm on my own. I'm so overwhelmed right now. I am on a medsurge floor with things I have never seen nor heard of. The flex nurses don't even like floating there because it is so challenging. I just don't see how this is going to go well.

I'm going to say, yes, it is normal to feel that way. I say this because I am in the same exact position as yourself. I only have two more days of a short 5 week orientationa and I'm trying really hard not to let the stress of being alone eat me alive. I feel school did not prepare me at all for work. I'm just going to try and be positive and learn as I go. It's a very uneasy feeling to not know the ropes and what to do, but this is how the process works. Good luck to you! I hope it gets better for the both of us. Keep your head up!

I took the Nclex Rn in Oklahoma this morning 9/6 and it cut off at 75 questions. I was not expecting that at all. The person at PV asked me if I knew the "trick" and I said yes, she told me to check in about two hours. I did and got the "good" popup! I'm still nervous and have to wait through the weekend to find out my official results. I want to believe it is legit since the employee told me to check it, so fingers crossed!
