Rant: Feeling like the worst nurse ever

[2018nurseandbeyond]

Worst day ever, I felt like I was getting into it with all my staff members. CNAs getting upset with me when I delegated to them. Following advice to -tell- not -ask- with patient concerns ... I mean I'm misses-unfair etc etc. Especially with their scope of practice and facility protocol...

I feel like my new full-time co-worker doesn't think I am competent and whenever I do hands on assessment, or nursing based skill with her everything falls out my head and I feel -extra- incompetent when she criticizes me for sloppy work or doing things differently?

Today was especially bad, had 2 rapids where I was assessing and I felt... Just bad. Sloppy. No one liked me. I was a ***, and I was incompetent.

4 more months until I hit my year of nursing... I'm just burnt out and crabby over my co-worker politic drama and pt. Complaints as a charge nurse... Wanna go part-time but life isn't doing it... Or new job ?

thank you again for your support everyone, im rereading the comments because again today SUCKED. i came in feeling strong but left like a sad, sad pitiful pup. god.

got yelled at for leaving a psych consult not filed, i was working on auditing 5 new admissions on my unit, weights, ambulation, did the glucometer restarts, i didnt get the chance to file everything. i came up to the nurse and nicely asked if the place is still dirty, she yelled at me NO! i asked her, " what is it you would like to be changed about this place so I can work on it?" and she explained it to me and i felt so frustrated i guess no one sees the work you actually put in... just all your mistakes :(.

just gotta keep doing better.

morning report was brutal

i feel like i got ganged up for being a fresh piece of meat.

People shouldn't be yelling at you, though. That's unprofessional, uncivil, and you should tell them that if they do that to you. If they persist, tell management about it. People will give you the respect you deserve, as they say.
