Just To Say "hello"

Published

I'm a male nurse who just graduated this past may, and passed my RN boards this past july. I was a surgical tech. for almost 16 years and pretty much worked in most specialties in the OR throughtout the years.

I will start my first job as an OR nurse this coming monday and sure I'm excited but also nervous about this new challenge.

I just wanted to say Hello since I will prabably visit this forum many times to vent and also to learn from your experiences.

Take care.:monkeydance:

hi thank you everyone for the support and encouragement, just an update - everything is going smoothly so far, just started my perioperative nursing classes at a junior college -where we also have labs where we practice gowning,hand scrub, skin preps, etc . and I love it ..staff in our unit are all very nice, welcoming and helpful - and the surgeons I've met are so far are nice - one even really took the time to tell me about the whole entire surgery.

I know that it will not be like this all the time especially when they give me more responsibilities and when cases get hectic or stressful but at least I know that I'm in a good place.
