I’m supposedly off orientation and will be on my own now. I have three shifts straight this week, starting today. Oh, did I not mention? I got hired at an emergency department and I love it, I still feel nervous and I try to not let the imposter syndrome feelings consume me. Well, I helped out at trauma last week and apparently I did not scan the FIN number of the patient so now I have to hunt down a patient that I have no recollection of identification other than the physical state they were in. What a way to start my venture without a preceptor… 😅

It’s been some time

I have graduated from my nursing program in June and passed my NCLEX in September. I was hired by a nurse registry where I get sent to hospitals that are short staffed. The experience was to be constantly adaptable and know well what is expected from you at all times. I did not have the luxury to have a preceptor and I am impressed to have handled situations well especially when I would be assigned 5 to 6 patients. I have been working for the registry since late October; although, I am still working under my EMT license for one of LA County’s COVID test site.

I am also obtaining my BSN from CSUSM online and the program has been fair and understandable since our jobs have been overwhelming. It’s just a lot of reading and writing...ugh
