I just started new job a month ago as Social Worker, doing advocacy, linking clients with services. It is a totally new field for me, I just graduated from college. I'm scared a little because I made a mistake and the bosses higher up are reading an incident report about me tomorrow. It was an accident, an honest mistake that resulted in a client reading something confidential and getting some information that he shouldnt have. I'm kinda nervous although my boss heard my side of what happened and is backing me, but I still feel really uneasy about what i've gotten myself into with this job. I feel a little discouraged and frustrated already. I don't want to give up already because I WORKED hard and studied hard to get here, but this is a situation where I didnt listen to my gut and put a lot of trust into a person because I really believed in him & wanted to show my support and it all got turned around on me.
Any thoughts? I thought with my heart & not my mind and I'm in trouble here.
Thanks for Listening
