I just started as an EEG tech in peds 2 weeks ago, and I had a rough experience last week with a patient's parent who was not happy that I was new. She pretty much outright told me that I don't know what I'm doing and I'm going to mess up the test. She actually messaged the doctor that she was uncomfortable that I'm new and kept having to be corrected (considering I am training and being supervised by an experienced tech) and she wanted a "professional" next time. She continuously asked people to check the leads when they were reading just fine. She was horrible to everyone so it wasn't just me, and we told the charge nurse and my manager and other staff, so I was being advocated for. It just really got to me when I know it shouldn't have.
I didn't go back in because I was so upset and I feel horrible because the kid was so sweet and told the other tech to tell me I did a great job. I've already been feeling so incompetent having just started. It was hard for me to even take this job since I was lined up for a research position at this hospital that ended up falling through because of admin, so I'm feeling so discouraged. Of course I'm happy to have the job and excited to learn, but it's still bothering me a lot. How do y'all get past something like this?
