new grad unsure about nursingRating: (votes: 0) I can feel your pain!! Im also a new nurse, ive been on the job for about 8 months so it wasnt long ago that i was still orienting.... and terrified of EVERYTHING you just described!! I was afraid of not documenting correctly, doing a procedure wrong, forgetting to chart somethng important, giving a bad report and it could go on and on and on and on!!! I can also tell you that it does get better, all be it slowly, but it DOES get better!! You willl slowly learn the best way to manage your time and how to deligate tasks to utilize everyones skills in the best ways. Remember that along with your experience come a very pretty and impressive resumee, with that resumee you can land some of the jobs that dont require pt care and can be a bit less stressful. Keep your head up and keep thinking on your feet, Im sure you are doing better than you think you are. Good luck!! Comment: I agree with both of you. I graduated last year and havebeen in my position for about 8 months. There are still things that chere an throw a wrench in my day , but that happens even to the nurses with years of experience. I have seen nurses that have 20 +years experience loose their cool over things that i just laughed at. There will good days and there will be BETTER days. And you will learn something from all of them , even the so called bad oetnes. Please don't give up yet. If after at least 6 months you really don't like what you are doing , see if you could transfer to another unit. My teachers always said.....In Nursing you can do just about anything. Have you thouhgt of Flight nursing or a unit that has moreMale nurses ???? Keep your head up and don't throw the towel in yet.
