Hi. I'm a relatively new nurse (8 months) in a level 1 er. This is my first job and I would really love it other than the stress i feel when i get home. I wake up in the middle of the night and remember things i forgot to do, wondering if my patient was ok, etc. I feel like i'm doing ok just from feedback i've gotten from the er docs and other nurses. I'm certainly not as fast as the other nurses, but i know that will take some time. I try my best, but i feel like its not good enough. Most of the er nurses are older/more experienced than i am, so i don't feel like i have anyone i can really relate too. So my question is does this stress eventually go away? Should i try a different area of nursing? Do all new grads feel this way with their first job? Thanks!
