Hi guys, I was recently a graduate nurse 5 months in a 6 months probationary period and I got fired, they said it was due to performance issues they said mainly time management. It was really out of the blue, they told me they didnt need a reason to fire me cause I was only 5 months in and I have no idea what to do from here. The feed back I got in my previous ward was okay, (which was higher acuity). I got a email from the registration people saying they have had a notification about me about my non performance and that can hypothetically land me in a lot of trouble (no more registration). But the person on the phone from the registration said it was unlikely. I cant see anyone wanting to take a non performing grad. Does anyone have any tips or advice.

Thankyou for this article I am a new grad just finished my second day, on a busy acute ward. And honestly I feel useless, I had 5 pts and needed help to get get everything done, when i was a student everyone used a shift planner which beame my little mini bible for the shift but here no one does and they look at my strangly when I go back to look at it. DOnt get me wrong I am thrilled to get this grad yr, but I feel like I have more spent more time the last few days worrying about things i need to do than doing it, any tips would be great!!
