So I have only been an LPN for a little over a year at an assisted living facilty which gives me little experience which has been okay with me as of lately because I have been dealing with a bit more anxiety then I am use to. I believe its due to being casual recently. I just got hired at the dialysis unit at my local hospital but I am SSOOOOO nervous! They were gracious enough to give me a 4 hour shadow shift which showed me a lot. It will be 6 weeks of training, 4 weeks in class, so it sounds like I will be prepared. But I am just wondering what I should expect in the long run and am I going to be competent enough since I've been exposed to different situations since I graduated? I am a very technical person so I think that will help.Thanks in advance for the advice and comments!!
