I do appreciate her advice but at the same time I feel like I'm doing my best and I'm going to get fired over these mistakes that many new nurses make. If it were a learning experience that is one thing but the way she says things is like I'm on the verge of being fired and it stresses me out every day and I dread going there and have last all self confidence in myself as a nurse

Thanks, she says I don't ask enough questions and that everyone is seriously worried and I'm messing up a lot but the things she says I'm messing up don't make sense. And I've talked to other nurses who followed me and they said they have never had a problem with anything I have done and everything was in order. Last night the dr. Told me to keep my pt on oxygen and not the bipap as long as her sats stayed above 92% well that morning when I left she desated into the high 80s and somehow that was on me. Also my pt was prescribed insulin ac and hs therefore her blood sugars were scheduled ac and hs, well, she yelled at me and said that it should have been ordered q6h since she had sepsis. Then when I asked the one RN who has been there for a long time to help me put an Iv in she said I absolutely needed a line and should talk to my dr about it ASAP. The dr said it wasn't nessessary and I let it go. Wel the next day this nurse I have a problem with was belittling me asking what my rational was as to a line and that it was ridiculous and I needed to think things through better. I just don't know what to do anymore ppl trust her and she basic runs everything on my unit and is friends with the higher ups so I feel like I'm definetly going to get fired. Am I wrong?

I'm a new nurse too and I have been on my own for about a month now. Every day that I leave I have such bad anxiety that I did something wrong or forgot something and to make things worse there's an older nurse on my unit who looks for things to complain about the new hires about. She always complains the new hires have no idea what they're doing and r horrible . She makes me feel terrible and like I don't know what I'm doing . I always leave work feeling anxious, depressed and like I'm going to get fired for something insignificant. I guess it's good to hear I'm not alone

So I just started a new job in the icu and I have been on my own for about a month now. During orientation everyone told me I did so well. Now that I'm on my own I have such bad anxiety. The older nurses talk about how bad the new hires are and that they keep messing up. When I give report to the one older nurse she always rolls her eyes at me and picks out small things to critisize me for. She never helps us out but expects us to help her and if we don't she talks about it to all the other nurses . She constantly refers to us as the new people when I'm sitting right there and ignores me except when she has something bad to say about the way I didn't something. I constantly feel like I'm going to get fired because of her and dread giving her report in fear she'll find something and I'll get fired for it . If anyone has advice or a similar story please let me know that it gets better and that hopefully most new nurses don't get fired for making small mistakes once in a while

So I just started a new nursing job in the icu. I've only been on my own for a month now and at first I felt like I was doing really well until today when one of the older more experienced nurses told me that I messed up doing trach care and didn't properly attach the inner cannula and that it was loose when she came in to do her assessment. This pt has a strong cough tho so it might be possibly he coughed it loose. She then told me that a pt I had stuck 2 times told her I had stuck him multiple times and that if I couldn't do it to seek help and didn't believe me that I had only done it twice. She constantly belittles all the new hires and says none of us know what were doing. I'm really worried that I'm going to get fired over this especially since she thinks I didn't put the inner canna back in correctly. Does anyone have any advice on this?
