I graduated top of my class with 4.0, and was recommended to "Top Boss", who turns out knew me from the past experience and really wanted me to work in his ER. My training was only for 2 weeks (6 shifts) plus general orientation and ACLS. Love ER, but of course no matter how good my critical thinking and nursing skills are, I turn out to be much slower than other RN due to learning the robes, documentation systems, phone orders from different DR's ...and so on. Pts love me, and personal from other departments always compliment me on great bed side nursing and pt communication skills. However, my biggest challenge is to win ER staff over, especially LPNs that work with me on different shifts. It seems beside the unclear division of responsibilities, I got couple of people (including charge nurse) again me surviving this 3 month trial period, and now other staff members are taking her side and tensions rising and some LPNS completely ignoring me. I don't get VS or any information on placed IV sites, help to clean beds, or changing pts...whigh takes more time to do it on my own. HELP ME! ( sorry for the long post, just wanted you to know the whole situation). I really don't want to change jobs.
