Thank you guys for the advice. For a while there I thought I wasnt gonna get any lol. I am so nervous because nursing is fast paced and I feel like my brain moves in slow motion. I go for a physical may 2 and then may 7 I begin orientation. Im scared they will ask me things I dont know since I have been out of school since aug.

Hello every1.... I am new to allnurse and to introduce myself. I graduated nursing school. aug '11 and got my license Jan 26. I just got a job on a med surg renal floor. The nurse manager told me that nurse to patient ratio is 1:5 & that 1:6 is rare. I am extremely nervous because I have read a lot of post in here and had nurses tell me that from their experience they hate med surg. I know I cant make their experience my own, but what advice can you give me about working a med surg floor. I havent practiced since July '11 and feel so bent out of shape with everything I learned. Plz help :) thank yu
