I just renewed my license for the first time and it feels terrific I waited a loooong time to become a nurse and I just love bedside nursing. It is enourmously challenging and rewarding. It can be very frightening as well if I dwell on the responsibilities of nursing. It is better to do the work than to worry about the possible problems. And yet, to be a good nurse, it is important to hold all of the ramifications of what we do in mind. It so suits those of us who love to multitask! I feel I am finally reaching the point where I have confidence in my skills. I still ask loads of questions, but I feel that is also being a good nurse. I am working on a medical/oncology unit and have seen many things that I was told in school "you never see", and I am not interested in changing positions. I work days and eves and prefer the eves. I feel like this is the only forum that might understand how happy I feel. Thanks for reading.
