Everything, please know you are not alone! As I'm reading this I'm lying in bed searching for answers myself or at least someone to relate to. I'm a new grad. I understand that feeling of making a mistake, feeling confused, afraid others are annoyed ...
Hi nurses. I'm hoping someone might be able to guide me as to what to do. I'm a new grad (3 months experience). I'm feeling very overcome with negative emotions. Recently there was an error that happened and I keep going over and over it in my head. ...

Hi, I'm a new grad. I passed NCLEX in September and got my first RN job with my BSN in November. I worked as a Med Surg RN in orientation at a small community hospital for 8 weeks, but was let go in early January due to failure to progress adequately...
Thank you vintagegal. I'm just worried some people might not give me a chance either way. I hope that I can find something that works for me. I'm just afraid, what if I can't ever do well enough?
I like it. It's funny. One day all of my coworkers had cute Christmas badges but me. I had the llama one. Then one of my big bearded coworkers walked into report with a viking badge on. I said I like your Viking badge. Everyone looked at us like we w...
