   ann915 replied to ann915's topic in New Nurse

   Yeah. I agree. It's really nerve-wrecking - I'm here with you and many new graduates out there. But, when in doubt, we just got to hang in there and maintain a positive attitude - and tell ourselves we can do it! :] I was told by one of the nurses at...
