Hello all, im turning 23 this year I recently graduated from adn program May 2014 in albany new york and passed nclex a month later. I am an average student. No experience in leadership I am now in california and with no experience in acute setting (my only experience is as a licensed practical nurse in an assisted living in new york for six months), it was very tough to get a job. Fast forward to my first job as an rn, I am orienting in a hospice agency as an RN (family friend connection). I am quite intimidated because Ive got no experience, i feel so small around the other nurses (some have been nurses in other countries) because I feel Im much more comfortable in hospital setting. Right now im auditing charts, doing clerical work because i am waiting for my California license so i can visit patients anyway in my opinion, i dont think hospice is ideal..? to start nursing career. However, on the other hand, I believe nurses should be able to work in any setting, period. Any advice? It would be greatly appreciated!
