Gonna be an RN again!

Hello everyone!

So Monday I officially start my career as an RN, again! I graduated from nursing school in Dec. 2004, worked until Hurricane Katrina (Aug. 05), relocated, recovered, then got pregnant! The small town I now live in evidently didn't want to hire a pregnant nurse, so I haven't worked in a year now. My baby boy just turned 3 months, and now I'll be rejoining the work force. I was hired to a mixed floor that gets all the pediactrics, plus post-ops and orthopaedic. Weird mix, huh? My orientation is 6 weeks, mostly during the day, then I"ll be working nights. I am SO nervous about going back. Half of me is so excited to finally continue with my chosen career, the other half is absolutelly terrified that I will have forgotten all that I've learned (since I was a new grad anyway!!!) And, I've never worked with peds before, so that part will be brand new to me. I'm really hoping that my preceptor is great, and that my floor will be organized and helpful to new nurses. We shall see. Thanks for listening, I hope that everything goes smoothly :uhoh3:
