Well, here is my story! I recently graduated from my Community College in Registered Nursing. But, you see I am only 18 years of age. Some reading might say this guy is full of B.S. but I kid you not. I graduated from high school when I was 16 years old but was also taking classes while I was in H.S. so I was pretty much ahead of the game as far as pre-reques into Nursing. I earned all kinds of academic awards at my Community College and many have said I should become a doctor but I wanted to follow in the footsteps of my mother who was as nurse for 35 years. But enough about that! I recently just started working as an RN at a local hospital 2 weeks ago. They have told me that I have a bright future with this hospital. They even pulled some strings for me to enter a RN to BSN bridge program which I will be starting. This may sound great and everything but they told me you have to start off working the Graveyard shift which I don't mind. I really finding it difficult to work with the older nurses who almost treat me as if I was their son. It just seems they treat me different since I am young. That is why I need some suggestions how I should deal with the settings of hospital and the people. This is something they don't teach you in Nursing School. Thanks!
