How is everyone doing on their first job as an RN?

Where is everyone working? Tell us the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Those who are having a great time, let us know where the best place is to work :)

Thanks,

I just wanted to kind of add on to what I had said before. I'm now two months into my job, I switched from days to nights and I really love it! I'll be on my own in 3 weeks and I actually feel like I'll be prepared!

Hi guys, how's everyone doing? I feel like things have definitely changed after the 6 month mark! I'm able to function on days off now and although the rotating schedule is still really tough, I don't mind going into work as much! I was talking to the Nurse Director the other day and she was like "you're feeling like you're starting to get it, right?" But I definitely think it took this long to get to the point where I feel like I'm managing everything pretty well and I'm starting to enjoy it. Hope you're all doing well!
