Hi everyone. I am a new grad nurse (been working since 2 months now). Im feeling quite frustrated right now. Just finished a shift set and I have been giving report to the same nurse whose also finishing her shift set. Anyways, the second day I came back for my shift, I was ready to get report from this nurse. Instead of focusing on the report, she starts telling me how I did not put a name sticker on one page of the flowsheets. I obviously know that I need to put the sticker on both pages (as I did for all other 3 patients). And she said "maybe you were half asleep". I just coouldnt argue with her because I feel okay yes its my fault but I have been doing this for all patients since 2 months. And now coming to today, one of my patients was going to an MRI so I was giving her report and she asked if I did the pre-checklist. Now, I know that I should have done this but I just didnt put two and two together and get it done. I told her the same. And she says "its just to be courteous you should do it..." and goes on and on about it. I was thinking like hey lady you have been nursing for 30+ years and I am still new and learning. The thing that makes me mad is that she's painting me as this "lazy nurse" and I know I am not that. I will go out of my way to answer call bells and help other nurses. And then she says "when are you not going to forget? When I remind you?". Im seriously feeling so frustrated and mad. Am I honestly just a stupid nurse? Arent we supposed to forget things and learn when we are new?? Thanks for reading. I guess I just need to vent.

Hi what was your GPA? and congrats!
