First year over-Lessons learned

Hi,

I've often heard the first year working after graduation is the hardest. I wondered how everyone is doing? Did everyone change jobs? Anyone give up?

I changed jobs and have learned some valuable things to ask in the interview. Such as:

Are we paid on time or are paychecks ever late?
Will I be paid for on call?
Will my health insurance start automatically?
Will I have support for complicated cases?
Is there computer access for looking up medical questions?
I'm hired for this area, will I need to cover shortage areas?
Do all of your physicians understand the NP scope of practice?
Do you have rusted equipment?

Anyone else, I'll add your to my list if so!
