Officially passed the one-year mark

[AZO49008]

Well, I officially passed my one-year mark of working as an RN. From some of the stories I've read on here over the past year I think I have to count myself very, very lucky. I got the exact job I wanted (Cardiac) in the right hospital before I graduated from nursing school and have been blessed to work with an amazing staff of fellow nurses and PCAs, all who have helped me grow enormously in the last year. Yeah, I had many deer-in-the-light OMG moments when I fleetingly thought "what did I get myself into?!" But after I recovered from those moments, I recovered my confidence and kept plowing through. Love cardiology, love my coworkers, and most nights I really like my job. May all of you newbies be as lucky as I have this past year!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope to be here in a year saying the same thing. So far I am right on track to have the same post! I couldn't imagine having such a terrible experience. How great for you and be sure to pass it on when you get students and new employees and new grads as I am sure you will!!
