sorry i had hit enter before i had the chance to and im dyslexic so my brain works faster than my hands sometimes but there is no need to be rude about it

thanks everyone for your insperational words! the crying thing has stopped since i started smoking again giving up when starting my first nursing job may have been a bad idea! off to clinical supervision now just have to think of something to say!!

thanks for your words :) i have 2 more months where i am then go to a community agency (6mnths there) so looking forward to that (thats if my co-ordinator actually shows up and organises it i very really see her and i am her job!) so in 8mnths time hopefully ill be able to go back to where i trained!

I love being a nurse but the area i am in atm is only about 30% nursing I have been a full fledged registered nurse for 4 months now. I started out as an excited enthuasiastic nurse! I Graduated, I got my regerstration, due to my local hospitals budget overrun i got a job in a HUGE hospital miles away from home but it was a job in my choosen field with lots of opurtinty to move up. But the reality was im in a ward that is far from idealistic, im the youngest staff member by 10-20 an average of 30 years meaning i get alot less respect than older staff, my ward is also less acute than i expected meaning alot of my "skill development" has gone to the way side and its just getting from day to day. Also nurses are alot my gossipy and ****** than i ever expected sometimes i sit there going omg they didnt say that??????????? if they are saying that about others what are they saying about me??? I'm also trying to make my way through doing postgrad papers while working, with alot high level and alot less support than im used too Also with moving away i have lost my support system (i do try to go home when i can) any modivational words?

i feel the same but i keep thinking about how i do a good job and i know i do! so thats all that matters taking it one day at a time! (and ps never give up smoking when u start ur first ever nursing job turns u into a crying mess of a person!)

we were giving the reality shock model as apart of our orientation and were told to expect to go through it many times, i would say im up to abotu cycle 6 (in four months) has lasted from a day end to end, over a week, or over a month. I'm in a mental health job away from my training area and i agree nurses can be very brutal! its funny how as a student u just did the job but as a nurse they suck u in!
