So, my first offical night at work as an RN. when i came in, things were not done, i ran around like i never worked on this floor before, much less in nursing...what the heck? it started out so bad, i have a killer HA. its 1849, i am here til 2330 at least, and hopefully it gets better. just a shock to be on my own i guess. i dunno.
thanks everyone!

It happens...that's why I always try to have my orders signed off, fluids running, and everything taken care of before the next shift comes in. It happens...gl though, hopefully it'll slow down a little for ya!
well it did slow down. now i hope i dont come in in 2 days time and realize or get yelled at that i missed or did something wrong. lol.. i checked and double checked.
tx!

Yes, things are sometimes left a mess. This makes it much harder ESPECIALLY when you are just starting on your own.
I have been a nurse for just over 1 year now and am FINALLY starting to feel comfortable/organized...
No more working that 30 min for free...lol (the "lunch" I never found time to take)
Hang in there...some days are better than others.
things are tolerable. it does get better every single day. i love being on my own. things make soo much more sense, so much easier daily! thanks for all the support everyone!!
