So Im a new graduate as of August 6th, continued working as an aid until the 1st when I could take my test. Took it, passed with flying colors-or so I would like to think- and started my first job as an LPN at a LTC facility that I have worked at for the past 5 1/2 years. I dont know what I was thinking. Last week was my first week and I came home crying every day because I was (and still am) positive that I learned NOTHING in school. I didnt get that much experience at charting, and had NO experience at orders-the med pass and treatments Ive got down-and assessments as well, but everything else, NO CLUE!!!! Im frustrated and about to pull my last hair out of my head. The nurse orientating me is helpful to a point...she just keeps saying that it will come to me, but when??? Im not sure to exact wording and writing in the MAR...does anyone know of something that would help me out?!? I would greatly appreciate any feed back anyone has...
