Hi, i'm a new grad about a month into my orientation I am working in a cardiac icu and now i still have 12 weeks left of orientation but I have slowly been realizing i am disliking nursing since i started clinicals. I am a male nurse and i don't think my personality fits with nursing I am serious but at times very sarcastic and it clashes with most of those on the unit. Along with this the stress was not bad at first and it has continually grown as I have been allowed to take more and more responsibility without my preceptor. I just don't think i can handle the role when I am going to be let loose on my own. i understand everybody in the unit is there to help you, but there will be times when I wont have that help. the constant fear of not documenting something properly and worry of "breaking my patient". It takes just a moment to get behind in taking labs, giving/titrating meds, dealing with family members, RT complaining about simple things. Does it get any better? is this just frustration of a new grad in a unfamiliar setting that will soon go away as i become familiar with nursing. any words of wisdom would help. I've been wanting to travel abroad and debating on just doing the army for a while, i wonder if choosing the army would be a better decision to escape nursing if maybe I'm not the right fit.I do have a bit of student loans to take care of as well which the army would assist.
