Wow-I Just finished my first week at my first assignment-5-12 hour shifts in a row. And I felt so overwelmed! It is a lot learning the computer, where things are, equipment, etc etc. I caught myself thinking, "What the heck did I get myself into???? And yet, the comfort was, "I know how to do the nursing care" and that was comforting-and the people have been so helpful-I'm really greatful for that!!!! Right now, I don't want to think about going back. I'm sure part of that is I haven't slept now that I'm done with day #5. I know this will get better, Ill never be a new traveler again-and I got through my hardest week-YES!!!
Anyway, I just had to write-I know you all know what I am going through and that's comforting. I'm so glad for this forum. Next time I post-I hope I will be able to bring encouragement and positive experience for other travelers.
