Initative vs. Guilt

Nurses New Nurse

Published

HI! My name is Nicky and I am really glad to be here. I would have really made Erikson proud today! I was in day four of my clinical I rotaion and I did what I thought was important vs what was important. I have real gulit now because I didn't take more intiative. I learned a lot though. I learned that nursing is more then paper/homework and is more about on the floor skills. I also learned more about me and how I want to be vs. who I was. I learned that I need to step up and show intageraty and courage. I learned that I am better then who I was today and yesterday. I know this is vauge and you might be thinking what kind of greeting is this? Well its a new me and you all are witnessing a new birth so welcome to my new life and new outlook.

I have 8 months until graduatation and to turn this plan into an action.

Thanks for reading and stopping by.

Nicky

Congratulations on starting on the path to the new you! I am curious as to what prompted this life change, but am sure that you will reveal that if and when you want to. I wish you the best in the next 8 months.

:balloons: Welcome aboard! You will learn much more about yourself before it's all over with, and that's a good thing to embrace. :) You will always be learning about yourself your whole life through...as do the rest of us. The life learning process is never ending, and learning to improve as a nurse is never ending. We never truly arrive. If we do...we've stopped growing. I commend you on recognizing your growth. :flowersfo :icon_hug:

welcome.

One of my instructor had Erickson as an instructor in her yout. (not youth, yout - LOL).

So we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with Erickson on the brain.

Funny how 13 yrs later I think I'd need a refresher to make any real comments on his work.

~faith,
