  1. First day of First RN job this week-nervous

    glutton4punishment replied to dawn.b-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yay! What an exciting time for you...New things to learn. "Firsts" are great, enjoy this time in your career, b/c in 6 months these skills will be second nature to you, and no big deal....

  8. Need advice..LPN to RN transition

    glutton4punishment replied to kkluczynski's topic in General Nursing

  9. THAT USED TO BE ME!

    glutton4punishment replied to glutton4punishment's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a very small hospital, and honestly, I didn't mind going home. I have another job on the side, so it's no biggie. I'm still new myself, so not fully comfortable yet. It was just really...
