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!

That gives me hope. Thank you.
