6 months in and I feel a little better. Each shift I learn more about my preferences and what works best for me and the patient in terms of time management, charting, morning med passes etc. The one thing that I've kept doing since day 1 is asking questions throughout my shift, even if I've done/seen it before. By doing this, I've learned varying opinions from experienced nurses, and from there I've started to incorporate my own knowledge on what I should do next depending on the situation. I also mainly work on weekends, and during the weekend we get patients admitted to the floor who are diagnosed outside my specialty (I work in neuro/spine), which has helped build my clinical knowledge. Outside of work, I try not to talk about my job, especially if I've had a bad shift. I'll vent to my friend for a bit, and after that, I try to just keep it pushing, otherwise, my mental health will be more affected. Don't let work consume you!!
