Drowning in orientation should I quit?
I’m a new grad. It took me 6 months to get a job and I finally did at a neuro PCU. I’m drowning dying depressed all of the above. I’m just lost no matter how hard I try or what I do. I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. How do I know when I should quit or that I’m really unfit for this job? Apparently everyone I speak to says they’re lost and struggling. I’m 10th week of orientation. I feel like I had a preceptor that was very laid back with me and didn’t explain very much unless I was asking. Towards the end, she was kind of leaving me on my own and I would come up and ask her questions. But there are policies and protocols it feels like I am missing. It also takes me 2.5 hrs to finish a med pass. I’m anxious speaking to the doctors and I’m struggling to get a routine down because I’m learning new things literally minute. Also there’s a coworker that occasionally sits with my preceptor and I and she would make sly comments at me when I would ask something and worse part is she’s going to precept me for a day. Guys please help me I need some guidance. Everyone tells me it just takes time, but I need to know am I being too hard on myself? What can I do to be better here? Tips? Advice? How’d you guys get the hang of it? Are there things I need to study or review to excel on a neuro PCU floor? I’m open to suggestions/ideas/advice
