InPrivate

Hi, don't get me wrong, most of my co workers were great... my only problem was being overwhelmed. THe kind that makes my stomach go upside down and when at home, I only think of what I've missed. It's very stressful especially when my patients get sick, they're elderly and makes me feel frustrated, being new, I can't do much.

I'm thinking probably I don' t have the talent... some of my preceptors are very quick and they leave me more thinking "oops how can I do this?" With the transfer here and transfer there to different floors, only made me very nervous. As a nurse we are expected to do right... I don't know anymore... my charting was bad on my last schedule... I can only remember after several days from resigning that my med*_ca_re assessment chart wasn't filled up completely on one patient. So I'm afraid of my license. That last Night shift I was partnered with an RN that's also newly hired but with 30 years experience already, she was on 2 weeks with night shift. I expected her to precept me since it was my first "Night", she was fast and also pleasing and nice. I can't seem to recognize a routine. She worked like it's the ER where she used to work, memorized who has meds to give... she's good and I can't figure out more so there's two units/homes we have to do at night. just 6 weeks at work and my career could be over... If the BON investigates when will I receive a letter that I'm being investigated?

Should I put my employer on my application? I only had 6 weeks there. Resigning without 2 wks notice made me ineligible for rehire

I worked for 6 weeks (on training and in some days left on my own) at a LTC, then I resigned without 2 wks notice. I was drowning and couldn't get my job done. I only have up to 24 patients but some are high acuity, some need more time, and there are those that have increased temperature, or aspirating, wheezing, having seizures etc etc. There's too many interruptions, too many details to learn as a new nurse. It was very unfortunate, I couldn't get it right. I felt dumb in the latter part. At first it was okay, stayed in one home with 20 patients for 12 days and got to establish rapport to residents, learn every resident by name, face and how they behave. Then I go training to different areas and to different schedules. I was scared, overwhelmed and couldn't get my work done. It was so frustrating to some of my preceptors because being new I was slow. I had problems with signing MAR/TAR but there's no time for me to recheck because I eat up so much time preparing and giving meds, giving attention to interruptons. By the time I finish giving meds and Trx, it's time to report.... I had to resign because I was miserable, I can't stop thinking about my job even if I'm at home, can't sleep well. It really felt like drowning. I resigned after my schedule because I felt if I stay it will be more risky for my patients and my license. I'm scared now, they might look after my misses and they have me reported... I am poor, no money, and if things go wrong for me, I don't know how it's going to be... Please tell me about your experiences on quitting without 2 weeks notice. How you dealt with it? If you're on trainng will your employer report you to the BON for mistakes even if you didn't cause a patient's death?
