New: First Year in Nursing Forum

nynurse2b · Jun 27, 2005

Hey Brian..I think that this is an awesome forum for first yr nurses...I have been a new nurse for almost 6 months now...I am a R.N. on a 41 bed post surgical nursing floor. It is a extremely and high demanding floor. I have been staying alfloat. I really enjoy the staff that I work with (at night) It is as if we are a culture of our own. The night staff is seem to be alot more supportive..I have started to become comfortable with making my own decisions without questioning every move. But I still ask loadssssssssssssss of questions. I am starting to question where I would like to be in my career as far as what type of nursing I would like to do..I am positive that it is not on a Surgical floor..lol...I have a few different avenues that I am interested in and have started to think about them alot more these days...I am affraid that I will become to comfortable and then be affraid to try my nursing skills in a new arena.. Nursing is such a demanding proffession and it is also the most rewarding. Some shifts are better than others...some you can't wait to end...and then you have some that are like wow...that was a great shift...lol..those don't happen to often but when they do...you will learn to appreciate them... I hope more people post...it is nice to see you are not alone!!!!
