Just Saying...

Specializes in RN.

I got my LPN in January 2011. I am graduating with my RN in December. Applied for and interviewed for 2 LTC LPN jobs this past week. I am a very confident person in all areas of life, BUT I am nervous as @#LL to hit the floor. Guess some nervousness should be expected...just saying,

thats normal it takes i would say about six months to feel comfortable in your position as a new grad and realize you are always learning and you don't know it all and never will none of us ever do:) you'll do fine:) good luck

Specializes in LTC.

It took me a year as a néw grad to feel comfortable in my job. Everybody says it's normal and no 2 people are the same. Just go in with the idea that you will learn something new everyday and know you're only human and you should be fine.

Congrats on your accomplishments! It's the people who aren't nervous when first starting out that I worry about. There are ways to cut that down some (try to get enough rest, don't go too long without eating, hydrating and taking bathroom pit stops, -- the chaos can go on without you for a few minutes! :) Get there early enough to gather yourself, and it does get better with time. Best wishes! :up:
