Hey, I haven't been in this profession very long, but all I can say is each day brings about some type of challenge, and we all learn from each challenge. So, just hang in there and don't stress out. Do something nice for yourself, treat yourself, after all you deserve it, and try and get some rest. Hugs persia

Thanks so much for the info. I will look into all these areas and will do my very best to start making some changes wherever necessary. sincerely Persia:p

Thank you for the inside scoop, I hope that this will help, and that I can be where I'd like to be. Persia:)

Hi, I am a new grad, and have many challenges on the unit, especially having to multi-task, get organized and stay on top of things. There is so much to know and not enough time to directly process everything after being told once. I don't want to be a bother to the other co-workers on the unit after being told once about something and having to ask twice and three times how to do something after being told once. I just feel so overwhelmed, and I need to know how to organize myself on the unit, plus stay on top of things, and also know what to look for when taking care of the patients on the unit. I remember one of my preceptors telling me that "I don't know what to look for and that I need to get the big picture and stop focusing on the nitty gritty." What does she mean any way, and what can I do so that I can stay on top of things and be a smart nurse, and only do what I need to do. Can any experienced Rn out there or anybody tell me what they do on a daily basis to get things done carefully and safely on the unit in a relatively timely manner? Any suggestions? Floor Tips? Thoughts? Words of advice would be helpful....
