New nurse! HOORAY! How to handle new career?

[Mrsladysoul83]

School done, BOARDS PASSED last saturday! Have a job @ a hospital that still hires lpn's & i worked there as a pct so that was a PLUS! Now that studying anxiety has worn off i have new nurse anxiety! I'll start next month but im not in a rush i suppose so im gonna enjoy these last 3 days as a tech & walk into nursing scared 2 death! How do you get thru the anxiety? Do the nurses training me expect me to know everything? Sigh...........

Congrats first off for passing the boards and then also for getting a job! It's normal to be nervous. It's hard to say what kind of preceptor you'll have, just know it is normal to feel overwhelmed at times. Speak up and ask questions when you have them. Take notes. Get good shoes. And enjoy yourself.
