In my experience, surgery is one of the most difficult places to be accepted. No matter your skills! Keep going, make sure you're receptive to suggestions from your peers, and show them that you're eager to learn and do a good job. Slowly they will see this and know you're in it for the long haul. I've seen it time & time again. The only people I don't see accepted are the know-it-alls and those that are too busy talking to pay attention. It's almost like an initiation for the first 6-12 mos. If u make it through, you're in! Just remember how u feel now when another newbie starts, though. I always give them special attention and feedback because I know how hard it can be to be new in surgery.
