a wonderful day in Dialysis

I know not many ppl would title a thread that, but that describes the way I feel. Today was my first day as a RN!!! At this time I'm working in an outpatient dialysis center (will start orientation at hospital in critical care in July and will stay with dialysis 1d a week) Anyway, I've been there as a tech for about 9 months now, so i know the ppl and machines pretty well. It was a little slow today starting out all by myself listening to pts, and figuring goals... But soon I had it pretty well down. I'm no where near perfect at it but i'm really getting the hang of it. The main thing is learning the meds and the computer stuff, but my preceptor said she was impressed with how well I caught on and ran with it. I probably doc. more assessments today than she did. The techs respect me because they knew me before i was "thier nurse" and they know i respect what they know and they can see I know my stuff. All in all it was a pretty good day and I am so happy, yet so exausted!!! Can't wait to go back tommorow! Thanks for letting me share.
