I'm pretty excited cuz Ive been out of school for so long, i was just wondering if anybody could share their experiences of transitioning from nursing student to registered nurse i guess im just scared cuz i feeel like i didnt have any real responsibility as a student cuz my clinicals were so ****** , i was just wondering if anybody had some expereines they could share it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey CONGRATULATIONS:yeah: :yelclap:
I had been working as a Hospice/Palliative Care RN and had been out of the hospital for ~ 10 years. When I got a position with the VA and started work on the telly unit I was petrified! I went from having one patient to 6-9! GULP!!
But....I eventually took a deep breath and things slowly, eventually slid into place.
I know my experience is not the same as yours. I did work 18 years in oncology critical care and I miss oncology, believe it or not.
I wish you the best. This is your NEW BEGINNING for the NEW YEAR!
