@angel1312 @bitter_betsy Angel, hang in there. You are not alone! I also went through the online clinical scenerio. I just landed a job and start on Monday and I am scared..however, I have not heard of one RN who wasn't scared covid or not and I would bet the RNs who posted negatively on this thread were also scared when they started. During my interview they asked my weakness and I was honest. I said I was weak in skills. That may not always work to your benefit but being open and honest and willing to learn and take direction are huge in the professional world. Ask your potential employers during interview how they train new grads. This question is crucial to your success as a new RN. You will learn on the job and as all nurse graduates know school isn't for the weak of heart. You get through that and work through the next challenge (new job) as it comes. We must support eachother new and old RNs to keep the profession from suffering even more than it is. You got this! Betsy, THANK YOU for your encouragement and great advice! I would agree with you really look for a program that is dedicated to training new grads. My job said they take 6 months and up to 1 year to train and they never leave new nurses alone. That sold me right there. I am grateful for the support of those, such as you who have gone ahead of us and encourage us as we come behind!
