Good morning everyone!

Took the boards on Tuesday the 28th and just found out an hour ago I passed

I'm Adrienne. Four kids, Trinity (5), Mercia and Marie (4), and Paul (1 month). I'm starting off in med/surg but hoping to move on to pediatrics after some time and experience. Nice to meet all of you.

I graduated in December with my BSN, and start an OR internship next week. Any other new grads out there going to the OR?

Hi all I'm Michelle. I took my boards in January and I'm two weeks into my first job on a med-surg floor at a small community hospital.

It's a little scary I'm just soaking up everything I can and trying to get some kind of organization to my day at this point. I know it will be weeks and weeks before I get my own assignment but it still scares the heck out of me to even think about it.

Hi everyone, I'm Anna. I just finished an accelerated BSN program in Feb. I start work in the NICU on March 13th. I am taking my boards in early April and right now I am just studying my butt off. I am really excited to start work, but I am a bit scared too. It is an internship, so that makes me feel a bit better cause I won't be thrown in too fast.

Hi, I'm Mike and I took my boards in the beginning of feb. I'm working as a nurse in a busy ER. We service an inner-city population and we are a trauma center so it's very busy and hectic sometimes. I'm still on orientation and I will be until the end of May. I like it a lot so far, but I've made my share of stupid mistakes...

Hello! I've been coming to allnurses for quite some time now, but finally I am introducing myself. I just had the type of day that makes me feel like I finally belong in the "first year of nursing" crowd. I began about a month ago on a tele floor, but I have only had 7 days on the floor, because I have also been taking new grad classes at the hospital. I'm looking forward to learning about others' trials and tribulations during their first year of nursing!

Hey everyone, new grad here!

Silly me, jumped right into the Med Surg ICU!! While I love it, it is kicking my new grad butt!

Ive never felt so undertrained in my life! The residency program I am in helps, but what do you do for the poor bruised, beat up, okay totally shredded self-confidence at the end of another 12 hour shift!

Congratulations!

Hi. My name is Susan and I've been a nurse since July 2005. As you know, I'm still learning. I work in Los Angeles on a Telemetry floor. I love being a nurse but hate my place of work. I will gather some more experience and will move on. I am currently just working 3 days per week. I plan to start school this fall so that I can be eligible for the bsn program at my hospital. I hope everybody else is having a better time dealing with coworkers and politics at their place of work.
