Thanks Coconutzz, That is exactly how I am feeling. Thank you for the response =)

Yes, that is the pop up indicating that you passed. It worked for everyone at my school. Congrats!

Hi Boxrluvr, I really appreciate your response. I feel better after reading it. I think our pre-op is very similiar. I feel I will succeed if I can get a good routine down and am working in a supportive environment. Thanks for your response

Hi, I'm a new grad RN who started a new grad program in Atlanta a few months ago. I nearly aced nursing school and had great references from my instructors. I was hired onto medsurge. I was completely overwhelmed on medsurge and after a few months now, I know it's not the type of nursing I want. I cry every night after I leave. My anxiety is so high that my palms and feet are always sweating, even at home. I don't feel at all comfortable with the workload or the amount of responsibility. I'm not anywhere close to being ready for this. There are just way too many things to get done and not enough time to do it. I can't even begin to keep it all straight. I'm simply drowing. I'm going to let the program manager know and apply for the spot in either post partum or pre-op. My preference is pre-op. I spent a week in pre-op during nursing school. I loved pre-op and it had it's own culture. As an actual new grad employee, will I likely be totally overwhelmed again? Don't you pretty much just get the patient ready for surgery by having them change, ask the list of questions, start the IV, hang the fluids and antibiotics, fill out their meds on the computer, then bring in the family and have them wait till OR comes to get them? Is it basically the same thing for each patient? Any help is appreciated.
