My first job as a new grad

[lavender rose]

I had recently passed my test last month for Lpn. I started looking for the job to start off my nursing career. Went on the interview and then I was told that I needed to wait for my answer the following week. I never had done this but sent a thankyou note the following day in the mail. I read about doing this. I got a phone call 3 days later and was hired. My background was good. But I do believe that if you are interested in the job send the thankyou note. It also shows them the kinda person you are for taking the time to do that. But moving along, I start next month. Its in a rehab place. Any advice 4 me or suggestions. I have like 2 1/2 weeks before orientation, anything I should brush up on.

well i'm a new grad (pn) in a ltc facility that has a rehab unit! their rehab unit is soooo busy, but i love it !! anyway brush up on the common meds like cardiac, diabetes, etc... also brush up on those disease, i don't believe anything can really prepare you for the reality of your first job, only working day to day will, but good luck, i'm two months in and i'm still going so dont worry!!
