Meeting 1st Client - NERVOUS

Published

Hello, I am a new graduate LPN that was hired on to do Pediatric PDN. I am meeting my first client and I have to be honest, I'm very nervous. The care plan is a little overwhelming and I'm afraid I may be out of my league. I've worked in post-acute rehab and have experience with many treatments and procedures, but this seems very involved. I guess I'm afraid I won't be able to do it! Any other fairly new graduates that started in PDN have the same anxieties? How did you overcome them? Thanks for your help!

Specializes in Peds(PICU, NICU float), PDN, ICU.

Good luck. After some time/experience, try a shift or 2 in PDN. Maybe a weekend shift or one after work. Extra money and you'll see if it's a good fit.
