I reconstituted a vial of amp in an oral solution sterile water—supposed to Be using vial of drug diluent in a sterile water. I did not even draw this in a syringe as I knew this doesn’t seems right. I’m new to the unit and preceptor said “dilute in a sterile water, so I came grabbed the unopened sterile water for oral and use it in reconstitution. I’m so distracted and overwhelmed that time with alarms going off etc. also I reprogram the IV pump with wrong ml of syringe but preceptor double checked it. I feel like I’m not fitting in this unit. Please help.

Just got orientation and extension of orientation was put in due to MED error during orientation-almost reach the patient however, it could cause harm if it reach the patient. My concern is coming from adult critical care world, and going to Neonatal is completely different world. I’m nervous and it’s affecting my performance and my critical thinking is gone. Preceptors are very good though not all, often I get distracted from my main preceptor who just ran me over but it is ok as I’m an orientee, I call it learning. My question is, is it time to stop and go back to adult world? Please help. This is the orientation that I made a mistake and I need insight from nurses. Any advice would help. Thanks.

Pleas tell me what you guys think. I am an experienced nurse, started on med surg 2 years ago, currently on call school nurse and working in a hospital as an RN. I got the job in cardiac setting as I feel like I need to step up and try other unit higher than the general floor. So my preceptor has over a year experience in this new floor where I'm at. During orientation, I listen and do things that she wants to be done, basically following her and listening to her as she has been on that floor, as an experienced nurse I know how to passed medications, my routine such as assessment first/vitals before giving meds etc. However, one night she was quizzing me on medications that I am not familiar with, though I know how to look things up, she did not like that answer "I am not sure, I will look!", she got snappy and told me I don't get it. Asked me question about ECG and I wasn't sure about the correct answer though on top of my head I know the answer as I passed the competency, so she judged me and told me that I do not know my ECG! Which is heart breaking! Not that! I told her to sit down, I'll do the work, I got a mistake by skipping my routine so I gave the bp medicine without checking blood pressure (last BP check was forty minutes ago). Offcourse my confidence are all gone and made a mistake as she's telling me what to do. She's always around and I feel like she does not trust me. shethinks I'm an experienced nurse and should know everything which in my point I'm new to this unit, different cases and different routine. Since my confidence are all gone, I screwed up in a report that I just stutter and so there she is told me in front of other nurses that I'm all over. Very horrible experienced! I know how to look things up and use resources. I do not have problem like this with different preceptors. Also, at the end of our shift she told me, she do not believe I have the critical thinking and not able to put things together. So I'm not sure if it is me or my preceptor, I don't wanna go to manager and educator because they like this nurse, she's good and knowledgeable. Any suggestion nurses? My confidence is now down and I am so bummed as this is affecting my practice. I have the experienced but I don't think this preceptor wil let me finish my orientation.
