Ha ha ha!! Reading is fundamental!

Jen4, Thank you so much for your very thoughtful reply. I really appreciate it! There are no easy answers and I like what you said. Nursing is hard, otherwise every would do it. I'm not afraid of hard work I just don't want to make mistakes. But those are unavoidable as well. It's just a matter of doing everything in your power to keep them to a minimum and learn from them. I just need to make a decision, thank God that there are a plethora of choices and job offers for us right now and get to work! Thanks again Jen and I'll keep you posted!

Thanks for your offer to provide advice! I just graduated in May and got my LPN license in July. Currently interviewing for my first nursing job and applied to Block 3 to start an RN program in January. The interview I had yesterday was at an ALF and from all that I've read, I'm concerned about a lot of the issues nurse on this board have mentioned. But honestly, I haven't gone into a thread that wasn't terrifying in one way or another! It seems to be a sport around here :) The second position I applied for was ped homecare - tons of negative info on here about that as well. Any thoughts on a good first job to gain skills experience and confidence without getting in over my head? Thanks!
