Breathe.
One day at a time.
Study, learn, ask lots of questions.
Know & accept the fact that you are new, and you wont have all the answers to all the questions.
Be confident in what you do know. Be willing to learn new things, and probably relearn what you thought you already knew.
Good Luck.
Edit: Oh, and congrats on the new job. Awesome specialty....lots of interesting stuff you'll get to see!

I graduated NS last Thursday...had an interview today for an intern ICU/Burn position...was offered said position...accepted position.
At first I was sooo excited to have found a job that I wanted...but now I'm starting to get terrified!
I feel so dumb and that I'm not going to know anything, even if I do manage to pass my NCLEX!!! What have I gotten myself into?
