Three months ago today, I started my residency as a new graduate nurse in a Surgical/transplant ICU.. In this residency, we are allotted 6 months to work with a preceptor and learn as much as possible! Over the past few months, I have learned soo much and I continue to each week.Yes it is stressful and I have made my share of
mistakes 'learn from this moment' incidences but that is part of what being a new nurse is all about. From ECG courses to critical care courses/classes to being on the floor, I have been learning new information constantly! I won't lie, there have been times where I have felt like
"Geez! Will I ever get the hang of this?" but I have been told that this feeling is
abnormal and that it takes time to reach the point where you actually feel like "
I got this". With that being said, I am remaining patient and really working on grasping the
'BIG PICTURE' AKA understanding the
'why' behind everything I do and not just the
'what and how' AKA CRITICAL CARE NURSING!
