Hey guys I have only had 7 shifts in the nicu and I feel so stupid. I get super anxious. Like I'm trying really hard I'm coming early I'm not taking lunch breaks. I came from med surg exp so it's so hard to swallow all of this stuff. I don't want to mess up but there's all this math involved weaning the IV while mother breatfeeds but that isn't the TFI so add formula wean 3 ml on IV it's just overwhelming:( I always ask u they look at me like ok the highest frighin idiot. I can tell she's exaushted of my dumb questions. Man... I come in readyvwith my brain sheet but by the time I fill it out all hell is breaking loose. I need to start feeds and start this and give this med ... I cry on my way home and there cause I don't want to mess up. I don't know when this will get better or if I'll even ever get it:( I know I'm not stupid I graduated nursing school, but maybe I am idk. I don't want to discourage myself but I feel like my hard work extra preparing staying up reading isn't working
