recently off orientation with question ...

I accepted a job and started in January on an acute care pediatric unit at a university medical center. I previously had worked mostly with adult patients in many different settings as both an LPN and then an RN. I do have some experience with newborns from a stint on L&D, and some general peds experience from 5 years of family practice. My question is this ..... how long does it take to feel comfortable? :uhoh3: I am nervous and anxious a lot :confused:, this is so much different than anything I've ever done. Looking for encouragement and support! Thanks in advance!

    Congratulations on your new job! I'm 1.5 years into my first nursing job, as a pedi bedside nurse. I'd say it took me about 6 months to stop being terrified, and another 6 months to be truly comfortable. Thankfully, I have very supportive co-workers with a great team spirit who are really good about supporting each other and reasonably patient with newbies like me.

    Good luck!
