Hello! I just officially got my license as an RN (phew!) and have a job offer and a choice to start at the end of June or at the end of July. I am thinking I want to start at the end of June to start making $$! But I am wondering if anybody has any tips or things I am not thinking about that might be good to think of before starting my new job. I am going to take a long weekend to a beach if my big plan works out. I am so scared. And finding that I feel irritated because I don't know my schedule - even though I knew that was going to happen. It's like I'm on edge! Does anybody know what I mean?

misscherie 56 Posts May 27, 2011 Agree with the others! Let's be honest - you probably wont be able to relax as you'd hoped to if you DO take the time off anyway. Once you start work, then later you can save for that holiday
