We visited my fiance's family for Christmas yesterday. His mom and her husband are both R.N.'s, and of course we talked about my new career a lot. I especially talked to his mom, just venting my frustrations and concerns with my time management skills. She gave me a couple of great tips on how to better manage my time, especially in the morning when assessments and medication delivery are of the essence. I'm going to try her suggestions tomorrow! Thanks, Maureen!
Bye, for now! Stay happy, and healthy!

Hi, You're doing great for a new nurse. The frustrations you are experiencing are perfectly normal for someone new to the job. Please try to enjoy how much you have learned so far and how much easier the role is than when you first started. I never get used to some of the apathy that you see in some nurses. I'd rather you focus on how much easier giving report is than it used to be, or calling an md, or doing an admission. All of those are baby steps. The job will be more second hand to you in about a year. It's a lot to learn all at once. Keep up the postings. I'll keep an eye on you. Anytime you can debrief with your preceptor before you go home, you'll feel better.
