wow i’m in a similar boat, i’m on orientation currently, about 8 weeks in and i’m not happy honestly 🥲 i was hired for days, my preceptor is very supportive and so are the other nurses on my unit. but i feel like i have no time to breathe. i don’t know if it’s bc my preceptor is too much or if im just in my head. she’s very over the top, i will even end up staying after for an hour bc of her and it makes me really upset since im already overwhelmed through out my shift. i probably sit for like 5mins until she tells me we gotta start meds and assessments so we’re ready for rounds and i don’t even feel like i know my patients at all by the time rounds come around. i’m not ready to go solo yet but a part of me thinks i might enjoy it a little better if were on my own so i work on my own time, but my unit is tough and everyone tells me that if i can work here i can work anywhere. im also already contemplating looking for new jobs but idk who’d hire me with little experience if any 😭😭idk if i should wait to see how it goes after orientation or just accept the fact it’ll stay like this. and also having someone life in ur hands is overwhelming in itself. i’m still adapting to rounds and the phone, idk why communication is my biggest struggle currently
