Reflecting on the feedback you received from your preceptor, Charge Nurse or the unit manager and your peer group must be taken seriously. They need a team player, someone who will fit in the position and deliver the best possible care to the patients. Be prepared to accept positive and negative criticisms. Your growth depends on your acceptance for corrective actions. Remember, patients lives are in our hands and they must be taken seriously. Be open to asking questions. Good luck.
