1st job as an LPN helping with eating disorders

[Cna2lpnbutterflies]

My 1st day is approaching FAST and the butterflies are getting worse every couple of hours! I'm SO nervous that I'll draw a blank on things I should know (pharmacology was my weakest subject, if I'm not working with something regularly it's extermely hard to solidify it in my memory)... And I've never cared for an age group younger than myself. I just fear I'll be a disappointment!

can anyone give me some insight as to how to approach and care for these individuals, or tell me about your fears of the 1st day and how it actually turned out? Anything that would be smart to brush up on...?

Very interested in this thread. I just graduated my RN program and passed the NCLEX last week, now I'm interviewing at an eating disorder specific unit next week! Very nervous but hopeful... How is it going for you? Any words of wisdom?
