Hi everyone, I am new to this site and I am also a brand new nurse to a cardiac step down unit. I have been in few classes and orientation for three weeks and will probably be taken off of orientation soon! However, while I am excited I am very intimidated. I constantly second guess myself and I'll obsess over these second thought and worry about "what ifs." My anxiety is through the roof and I can barely sleep at night. I feel like just quitting already :/. While I know mistakes happen, my biggest fear is making a mistake! I am doing my best to study cardiac specific procedures, meds, etc. so that I can have more confidence. I never thought I would feel so inadequate at my first job. Is it normal to feel so overwhelmed, emotional, and stressed? Any suggestions or feedback to help this new nurse would be appreciated :)!
