Well that sucked ass ...

Wow. That was one crappy day.
I have come to the conclusion that my new job could take a few pointers from my old job as far as organization, policy and paperwork. I hope this day was just an anomaly and not an indication of how the rest of my tenure here is going to be.
It was my first day doing a med pass, and it did not go awfully well. I got behind, I felt clueless, and I almost made a med error. And I find that all the lovely mountains of paperwork the management has been telling me I must do whenever a sparrow farts goes out the window when the person training me doesn't feel like going through with it.
And at the end of a long 8 hours I walked out witout giving the oncoming nurse report. I just forgot. The oncoming nurse was the one who had been TRAINING me all day long on the same side, so I can't understand why she would need report, but I suppose she had been expecting it. I'm probably going to hear about it tomorrow.

*gentle hugs* Well, that sounds like the worst. The silver lining is, the worst first day is over. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again, hon. You've got all this bright inner light; just relax and let it shine out. You can't be perfect, and neither can any job--but you can be you, and you'll find a way to make a comfortable fit soon! *kiss*

Thanks. The next day was better. I think I just hate being new. The adjustment period is always rough, I think.
*hugs*
