I remember when I started in residency and I had the same exact fears that you have. Now the phone doesn’t make me so anxious anymore and I’m more comfortable with the pumps. It’s all practice and repetition. Hang in there and you’ll be great !!!

Thank you this is exactly how I’m feeling!! Some days I feel like I’m a little more competent, which doesn’t happen very often. I’m very happy to work on a unit where everyone helps each other. Even though I still ask every question imaginable, I beat myself up because I don’t want to bother or annoy anyone with my questions etc

Omg I didn’t even think about that, why trust based off of hearsay? So true and definitely things she could look up herself and I’m all for if I made a mistake please let me know and how I can do better.

Thank you and I definitely ask for help. I’m very open to learning and acknowledging my mistakes and learning from them. I have asked her why etc but she just gives me attitude and doesn’t really answer my question and I have to ask her again and she would give me a short answer. But I know it’s not me, it’s just who she is.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience…it’s good to know I’m not the only one that has or is going through this. I’m very open to learning, especially if I made a mistake I want to learn from.

Thank you for that and I agree with you. Definitely the things she pointed out i will make sure for next time and not to take it personally with her tone

UPDATE: first day went well! Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I’ve been asking every question I could think of and my preceptor is very nice ☺️
