Arghhhhhhhhhh

[Princess]

Seriously why did I decide to become a nurse??? I start placement tomorrow and I'm so unbelievably stressed. So so so stressed.

I have to be there at 7.30 which means getting up at like half 5! I forget where the changing room is and my ward is. I never rang my ward for my times cos I lost the number(although they did say we all had to be there Monday),my shoes are far too big,I have no idea how to put my hair up right and that's before I even get there!! Then there's doing stuff,hopefully we'll just have to observe but still arghhhhh. And I can't even remember how to wash my hands!!!!

I'm meeting up with someone at like 7.10 tomorrow cos we're both lost so that might help a little.

Ahhhhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Calm down, you'll be fine. I can't imagine any one being a better nurse than you :) Well, maybe mother theresa. But that's it!

[Princess]

Awww thanks! I really hope I don't have a panic attack,I havn't had once since September when I started uni,I get them when I'm really stressed.

:hug: calm down cos you wont be good to anyone if your in a flap it will all come into place also you could get some kalms tablets (they are herbal and help you keep calm )

[Princess]

Thanks Mich!

The anticipation is always worse than the event right?

[Magic]

You will be fine princess, just think, at least one other person will be feeling like you. Your not alone, and it's the start of a new 'journey' - things will be alot better.

[pinkmichk]

come the end of tomorrow you will wonder what you were worried about you will make a amazing nurse

[Nicky.]

You will be fine, I'm sure!

As soon as you get there, everything will come flooding back to you! :bigsmile:

I'm like that (or was like it, havent done any competitions in ages). Whenever I do a big horse riding competition, before I am always like '**** I cant remember the way'. But it will all come back to you tomorow.

The little I do know of you Laura is you only get like this for something you DO care for and want so much.
Your Take That posts on forthcoming concerts, shows, and TV appearances are so much made in similar vain.

Because of that I agree with Sia, your going to make one hell of a nurse I so wished you lived closer to me thats for sure.
You are a lovely young lady with a heart and its shows everytime you write here, thats what a good nurse is all about, who cares if on day one you're forever getting lost.
In time many many people are going to be very very grateful you made that first day.

Good luck tomorrow :kiss:

Yeh a good nights sleep is what you need, and even if you get so nervous you want to go home just go for it anyway. I am just guessing but it sounds like how I feel the night before an audition. Why the hell did I choose to be an actor, I will never beat anyone, never gonna get it. Just get a good night sleep, take deep breaths in the morning and go for it.

You will be amazing :)

[Princess]

Thanks Magic and Nicky! Angie-that was so nice,thank you!

It's amazing what a few posts on a forum can do to make you feel better.

Must say, it has crossed my mind once or twice. Would be so much easier haha.

[Princess]

It went fine! I'm so tired I want to go to bed right now it was alright. It was quite empty as it the ward was closed for Christmas so it was admissions today so there wasn't much to do but I liked it. Patients are so lovely!

[pinkmichk]

:hug: glad it all came good and you enjoyed it

[AngRemembered]

Awww, glad you had a good day, and the patients were nice...its all down hill now....
nerves??? pah.....what nerves :whistle:

[DamonJ]

Congrats Laura, glad you got through the day & came away happy! =D

[Princess]

Thanks guys! :spin2:

I have a rest day on Thrusday and long day Friday which is kinda sucky but meh.

[Kate..]

You never know, everything might just turn out absoloutly fine! If you ask questions that's better than not asking any and doing things wrong, and they'll know that! You'll be great, just bring a paper bad in case :tongue:

[JOSHUAH!]

Welldone Laura.

[Princess]

Bumping this because well nursing isn't going the best to be honest.

I love the patients,they're all lovely and I love helping them and talking to them. But some the nurses are just down right bitches. I've been told I don't appear interested enough,that I'm not proactive and I don't do anything without be told to by like 3 nurses. I am fecking trying my hardest,I do what I can and what I am allowed. It's like they what me to learn everything in such a short time and the nurses I'm with don't even think I'm trying and it's frustrated. This is some LOVELY nurse's who are always nice to me but I always get put with ones who never praise me and only give out to me. I forgot a towel the other and the nurse seriously proper ranted at me for a good 5 minutes! It's like if you do 10 things right and 1 thing a little wrong you only get given out about the wrong thing. I feel so stressed and so exhausted and I don't know what to do.

Maybe you could speak to one of the senior nurses about it and arrange for you not to be put with the bitchy nurses again if they're putting you down all of the time.

I hope you get it sorted. :thumbs:

[Princess]

See problem is the senior nurses are pretty bitchy too. :sad: Thanks though Matt!

Why is it that they always see when you're not doing anything but never when you're working really hard? Drives me insane.

[Fom]

Thats typical life for you, I know it's hard but it will soon be worth it all. Its just a crap thing you gotta put up with until you are qualified.

What they need to remember is that you're just starting your career in nursing, most of them have been doing it for years and know everything that they have to do.

You'd probably learn more from them if they were being nice and talking everything through with you rather than snapping.
