Losing your skills?

I definitely understand where you're coming from, I worked for 4 months in a department store after graduating from nursing school while I was job hunting. I really felt like I wasn't going to remember anything. I tried to read up on general ideas if I had time, went through med-surg slides from school, flipped through a clinical nurse handbook, but honestly didn't get too much into all of it. I actually had my first day working at a hospital on the floor today and I was surprised how quickly I picked it up again. Granted, I forgot the little things, but I felt like for a first day and not doing it for 6 months it went pretty well. I think you'll just remember once you start working. You worked hard in school and it will all come rushing back!
