I've been a practicing RN for a year now. Im afraid I hate it. I started in med/surg for 6 months. I did 3 months in psych and now I'm 3 months in to ER. Im ashamed of my job hopping. I just can't find a way out of the anxiety of going to work. I am petrified of facing things I don't know. I'm novice and I DON'T know much yet. I think that may be what makes me feel I don't belong in nursing. I did well in nursing school but now I feel so clueless and embarrassed that I'm the RN and I don't know how to recognize things not do I know my skills very well. It's inadequacy that frightens me the most! It's the fact that im sure people are talking about me not knowing. How do get over this? Will it get better? Will my job hopping prevent me from getting a non bedside RN job one day? I have no option, I have to continue this career. For my family, my school debt, the shear embarrassment of failure. But I'm scared I will be that nurse who doesn't know crap. Because I've heard how people talk about other clueless nurses.
