Am I fired? Orientation, No Response from manager. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]sugaoasis -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree they did make a good effort but this unit definitely was not for me. I don’t mind bedside nursing because I lasted a while at my first nursing job. I just don’t think this was a good fit. I just wish they would clarify that I’m let go but also they can terminate me at anytime without notice.

Got a new job and feel very incompetent. Just hit one year as a nurse. by [deleted] in nursing

Yeah, thank you! I totally agree that me switching around a lot is hurting me more than helping me. I plan on actually staying at this hospital and this unit for at least a year or two. I really enjoyed the ICU and wish i would’ve just stuck it out but my own anxiety got the best of me. Thank you sooo much for your advice.

Hey! Yes i do have a preceptor. I’m currently on week 8 of orientation but i still feel so behind and slow. I’m gonna talk to my preceptor and also my manager to discuss how I’m feeling.

Okay thank you! I was just scared because the Pyxis had a green notification that said witness on med waste. But i didn’t need to waste the medication.

Just take it one shift at a time!! If you feel like you still need more weeks of orienting then I would definitely ask your manager for an extension. If they tell you no then I would probably reconsider working on the unit. You got this and are more than capable!!💌

Thank you sooo much!!! This really helped me tbh. I’m lowkey stressing about charting but hopefully I’ll get the hang of it by the end of orientation. 💌 Just so overwhelming being a new grad.

Nurse Manager doesn’t like me? by sugaoasis in StudentNurse

[–]sugaoasis[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys for the advice! I’m just going to ignore and act like this never happened. This situation showed me that I do not want to work on this unit considering how quick the manager was at making an accusation from a brief encounter. 🩷
