I am actually looking into applying for their DNP in Gerontology. @ Ivyleagued, can you tell me more about the first immersion session? I am definitely very interested in their program. How many people are in your class? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thank God I found your questions and answers. I also just graduated from nursing school in May, passed my boards in June and began working in the ED in July. I too was wondering when I won't feel sick to my stomach with worry at the end of the day. I double and triple check everything because I don't want to make a mistake at the expense of another human being. Maybe I sound like a freak, but in school, they repeatedly told us "You only have one license. Be safe. Be safe, be safe." The professor's voices echo through my head as I run back and forth getting meds, checking the order, double checking, taking deep breaths and looking like a deer in headlights. I too, just want to feel a little comfortable. My orientation is approximately 22 weeks, and I know I am just beginning...It's just good to know that I am not alone in feeling the way I feel. I think the new grads/new RN's starting in the ED are cursed with that nursing thing, you know, exceptionally high, high high, expectations. Ha ha. Best of luck to you. You are not alone.
