Hi, I recently graduated and started applying for jobs that i really wanted, but after not getting any calls back because of the hiring freeze i started applying for absolutly everything. I started getting interviews and now i have a job and start next week. Its in thoracic and vascular surgery and i am told its a pretty intense unit. I know i have 16 days of orientation and alot of classroom time with the nurse educators but im really nervous that its guna be to much for me to handle as a new grad. im just wondering how hard of a time the unit gives new staff expecially being new and having little experience. I know i can do it, i just feel like im going into it blind and i dont know what to expect...
