I've been a nurse for about 9 months, When I graduated I got a job in Nursing home. On Sep 8th I will be starting a new job in a Rehabilitation Hospital in acute section of the hospital. I'm scared about!

I'm scared about labs (interpreting them) and other things that are different from a nursing home. I never had any experience except for my clinical in the medical/hospital field.

I recently graduated with my BSN. I took the NCLEX right away to get it over with so I've got my RN. I started working on a med-surg floor and absolutely hated it.

or the past two months I've been there I actually thought I was pregnant b/c I kept feeling like I was going to throw up. Turns out it was just all the nasty smells and the feces and sputum and feet and the stress making me sick :barf01:

So I resigned yesterday. Bedside nursing is just not for me. Now I'm looking into Psychiatric nursing or working in a doctor's office maybe....

Good luck to you. Hopefully you'll like it better than I did. There were 2 other new nurses orienting with me and they seemed to love coming to work every day. Me, I had to force myself just to get out of the car in the morning and walk into the hospital!
