Shortly after graduation, the licensed practical/vocational nurse was hired as a staff nurse in a highly respected rehabilitation facility.
 
  Since the nurse started this job, she has been assigned four patients, just like every other staff member, every day. She is not getting her assignments finished on time, and the nurse feels disorganized and sometimes wants to quit before making a big mistake. What should the nurse do?
  A) Ask for a transfer before he or she is getting compassion fatigue or burnout.
  B) Discuss feelings with a good friend.
  C) Give herself more time; things will get better with experience.
  D) Explain her concerns to the nurse manager on the unit.

Ans: D
Feedback:
The manager who has probably had this same conversation with other new employees could make suggestions that would help the new nurse adjust to her new role. The manager might also adjust her assignment to match her beginning skills. If the nurse leaves prematurely, she will probably end up in the same situation on a new unit. Discussing feelings will not help because the nurse needs help with the work. Experience may help the nurse to become more efficient in the long run, but does not provide needed relief from the undue stress the nurse is currently feeling.
