So I am a new grad nurse. Started working at a clinic. While all the nurses seem to be helpful and nice, my doctor is not. A real Dr jekyll and Hyde type. Nothing pleases her. Never know what to expect Since i am new i don't know much which also pisses her off. I never had any training just two days and i was on my own. Do i ever make mistakes. Yes. I am scared constantly. Can't sleep from worry. I forgot to chart a vaccination recently. I can't believe how much yelling from the dr. I am on my last threads on what to do. I worry that the clinic will get rid of me. By the way, everyone just loves this dr. I just think she doesn't like me because i am new and not her old nurse. It makes me sick to see her her be nice to others.

Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement. It helps a lot. I just spoke to the nursing supervisor at OHSU and she told me there is a wide age group this year. I am happy about that. :)

I have recently been accepted to OHSU school of nursing. I am excited and scared. I am currently 50 years old. Does anyone think that this is too late to be starting a nursing career? I have a friend that is currently attending ITT nursing school in Boise, Id. She will only attend school a couple of days a week and finish in less than two years. I will be in school for 3 years, by then, I will be almost 54. I am afraid at the University I will be surrounded by young people in their early 20s. At ITT tech, the age range seems to be for people in their 40s. I guess I am just worried that I will be the only "old" person in the class. I know it is foolish to worry about "fitting in" but I think we never outgrow the feeling of being the odd person.
