Just accepted a peds job offer :) :)

[ForeverDreaming]

This isn't a post to ask for any advice; I just wanted to share the excitement that I've just been offered and accepted a job offer at a pretty prestigious children's hospital in my area. I'm radiating so much positivity right now I can't contain it and I wanted to share my happiness with anyone willing to receive it. I graduated in December and got licensed in February. The job search has been absolutely brutal, and I feel so blessed to be given an opportunity to work with the pediatric population. Reality is setting in and I know this is when the REAL work and learning begins. I'm prepared for the constant second-guessing and the stress that comes with being a new grad in the field. Just gotta tell myself that each day is a learning opportunity and each patient is going to get my 110%.

Thanks for reading, and have a FABULOUS day!!!!

Also, for any other new grads starting in the pediatric specialty, would anyone else be interested if I started a 2015 Pediatric RN New Grad thread to refer to for stories and support? It would be great to connect with people going through the same experiences!

Congrats! I too will be starting a peds position this coming August, and I think the thread is a good idea.
