At 7 am tomorrow, I will be reporting for my first shift on a Renal Floor as an RN. I am excited and looking forward to it.
While I realize that the next 3 months of orientation will be hard and overwhelming at times, I am not shying away from it. I know I can do this. I handled 5 patients in Nursing School, and I went through a very tough diploma program that makes the 4 years in college for my B.S. Bio degree look easy.
I have a manager whose first concern is making sure that I don't get too overwhelmed or stressed out. And everytime I have run into her in the hospital, she says that they are looking forward to me coming on and that she has placed me with a good preceptor. The hospital I work at has an excellent reputation for taking new nurses out of school and turning them into good ones.
I don't feel nervous at all, I feel ready for my first shift. And I am ready for the hard work. And I am looking forward to it. Lets nurse!!
