Dear Colleagues, I have been a nurse over a decade; but have spent the last few years in supervision and then raising my child. Now I am returning to the work force and feel as stupid as a new nurse. I have not done bedside nursing in years and have forgotten a great deal of nursing education as I went to nursing school in the nineties......How can I re -enter the workforce gracefully without performing poorly and misrepresenting my skill level? Please note that my ability in nursing is higher than my confidence levels right now! As I get older; I find myself increasingly nervous when "working on" or performing technical tasks on patients. Tips and hints on how to handle these concerns? Thanks, BSNWendy
