First Day By Myself

Nurses New Nurse

Published

Hi all! I finished 13 weeks of orientation last Friday ( my unit educator is awesome :)) I am on a busy ortho/ general surgery floor and have learned sooooo much during my orientation. I was lucky to have amazing preceptorship and supportive coworkers. Today was my first day by myself without a preceptor.... and while I was and still am nervous ( I am so honored that I get to care for our patients), I also know that the training I received and my education has prepared me well and I look forward to learning much more and hopefully branching into the ICU in the years to come :). Good luck to rest of my fellow new grads who are just starting orientations, in the middle of orientation or finishing.

I can't wait until I'm in your position, the moment where you've finished school, got a career and finally figure out where everything is without even having to ask someone. Congrats :up:
