Stressed

I have started as a dialysis RN about 9 weeks ago and ive been stressed from the start. Im working full time and going to school part time. Im tired all the time, and i feel so rushed at work most days. Is this a "welcome to the rest of your life" ? Will it get easier?

    If this is your first nursing job, you may just have taken on too much at one time. It takes a while to become comfortable in your nursing practice - in most cases, it is about a year. I usually advise new grads to complete that first year before taking on any additional responsibilities.

    I started the residency program and it is also 9 weeks. Like you i feel stressed and defeated most of the time. I feel rushed and incompetent i am often wondering if i made the right choice. This job is taking over my life and my class is falling behind because im always too tired to keep up. I wonder if i am going to make it.
