Struggling

Published

Guys, I got my dream job and have been loving it. Lo and behold, 45 day review wasn't so hot. I'm behind where they'd like me to believe. I don't know what to do. I want this so bad.

Thibgs like in a trauma not being sure what to do as opposed to seeing what is not being done and just doing it. Efficiency is an issue. Assessment issues. Etc.

Specializes in Family Nurse Practitioner.

No. I just have to make sure I have a job lined up so when they let me go I am not unemployed whether that's at this same hospital or another. Failure sucks. I hate the taste of it. I guess I just wasn't ready for an ER that does this volume and has such high acuity.

Use this as a spring board to hone your practice; you are still new, and you may not be ready-and that is OK!

Pound the pavement and try again; use your next position as an advantage and foundation to return to the ED.

Best wishes.

The feeling is terrible but you will pick yourself up and gain your confidence back. It will take time but you will get past this.

I think the short tenure is hurting me in finding a new job.

Can you not apply on a different floor in your facility? Nothing wrong with being honest and saying you were over your head and want to go back to what you were doing before.
