Hi!! I am a brand new grad. I graduated in December of 2013! I am very excited to say that a month ago I accepted a job offer from an amazing hospital in Chicago! It is my FIRST nursing job and although I am excited to start this journey, my nerves are more prominent. I dont know what to expect and I am nervous I wont be a good nurse or wont catch on quick enough. The orientation at this hospital is shorter than most and is only 5 weeks long. I am nervous I will drown as I have so much to learn as a brand new nurse. Does anyone have any tips or words of advice for me as I start my new journey?! I would greatly appreciate it! I am slightly freaking out!!!!!
