First day on my own--from worst to first

Well my first day as a stand alone RN I got pulled onto a floor with a big patient load. Just when I was organized, they pulled me to the other side with all new patients. Then four hours into my shift I was pulled back to my floor with new patients. I kept myself in good spirits by telling myself I was in good spirits. You know that little voice, "I think I can I think I can". My first day as a full RN became one of the most wonderful days in a long time. I did it, and I did it under stressful conditions. Yeah for me. Nobody was going to ruin it for me and I didn't let it. Yeah for me again!

Good for you! Attitude is everything.

Some people would have wanted to cry.

But what kind of crap is that, just more nurse abuse.

[Celia M, ASN, RN]

Looks like we have a wonderful, adaptable and positive RN here. Yeah for you and keep up the good work!!! :)

Kudos to you ! :)

You could have sunk to the bottom and been miserable, but you CHOSE to stay above it all... and you won !!!

You ARE what you THINK.

[HisTreasure, BSN, RN]

Congrats!:balloons: It is awesome that your first day went well. I bet when you got in your car at the end of the day you did a great sigh of relief!

[Tweety, BSN, RN]

Glad you kept your spirits up. We never would have floated a new RN like that. We give them a couple of months on the floor before they are floated.

Keep up the good work!
