I just graduated LPN school in Dec and took and passed my boards in Jan and now I start my 1st job as an LPN nurse on Monday and I am scared and nervous. When I was in clinicals I had my instructor by my side so I was never scared or nervous when I did procedures or when she would grill me about my patient and the medications I was giving....now I am on my own with no instructor, more than 2 patients, and doing it all by myself and it is freaking me out because I do not want to make any errors because I am dealing with people's lives.
Someone please help me overcome this fear!!!

When I was in school I said I would only be a doctors office nurse and I would NEVER be a bedside nurse in a hospital because of the tremendous responsibilty that bedside nursing offers, but as fate has it that you should never say never, I am going to be a bedside nurse
I need advice and for someone to shake some reality into me please!!!
