Hi, I'm a new grad nurse who graduated with a bachelor's in paediatric nursing in sept 19. Throughout nursing school I had my doubts whether nursing was truly for me, I completely dreaded clincials. Never had a huge interest in anatomy and physiology...

I'm 23, new grad nurse, and convinced nursing is not for me. Lacking passion, extremely introverted and huge anxiety and history of depression. Did you leave the profession? And any advice. I've changed specialities twice in less than 6 months, feeli...

Hi, it is almost like you have written exactly what i'm going through. I have one more week left of oreintation, and cannot even think how i'm going to do once i'm on my own. This is my 2nd post since grad in less than 6 months. I absolutely believe ...

I really appreciate your reply back, i'm glad you're in a better place. Hang in there. But I would really appreciate any advice you have to offer. Your story is pretty much the same position i find myself in. I'm currently in my 2nd post as a new gr...

Hi, how did you get on? Did you leave clincial nursing short term and return.

I feel the exact same, although huge difference i am a new grad, and in my 2nd post within 3 months. I really do not enjoy it, dismissed the red flags during nursing school. Any advice? Much appreciated

Hi, I'm in a decent position to leave financially as i don't have much debt to pay off from university.

I really appreciate this! Especially as it comes from a nurse, with many years of experience and insight. It's such an unsettling position to be in, absolutely nervewracking yet you covered almost all the worries I have. Thank you!

Hi, how did it work out for you? Did you end up leaving the nursing field, or continue to stick it out.

Yeah that's right, from the UK. I did have an adult rotation during my training which was great clinical exposure. But adult nursing was definitely was not for me.

Hi, curious to know did it getter? As i'm in the exact same postion, Im now on my 2nd new grad job at a level 3 NICU. Previously on a paeds ward for 2 months and left after 2 months whilst on oreintation due to the same reasons as you mentioned.

Thank you! I know my notice period is 1 month whilst still on oreintation, subject to manager's discretion. I'm not very confident in my nursing practice, which i know is normal to feel as a new grad. But i'm an anxious person, during nursing school ...

Curious to know did it get better? I'm a new grad on my 2nd job 3 weeks into oreintaion out of a 6 week programme on a level 3 NICU. I graduated in sept 19 and spent 2 months at a busy general peadiatric unit, orientation was only 6 clincial shifts b...

Hi, I'm a new grad nurse and completely in the same position! I graduated sept 2019, started my first grad job in November on a busy paeds ward. Orientation was only 6 clinical shifts, though this was extended as I was definitely not ready to work in...
