Start orientation tomorrow

Published

I start working on the floor tomorrow. Oh my gosh. I'm sooooo scared! :sofahider I officially started on Monday, but had three days of classes. Tomorrow I'll be starting on my unit (MICU Step Down) with my preceptor. I'll be praying for many things tonight: Wisdom :idea: , a guardian angel to watch over me and my patients , a good preceptor (LOL), a sixth sense, and patience with myself. Why oh why, did I pick such a hard floor?????? :uhoh3:

Cindy,

You are exactly right to pray for a good preceptor. IMHO, a good preceptor makes all the difference in the world for a new grad. Just try to relax, don't be afraid to ask questions, and be confident in yourself!

Good luck

You picked such a hard floor because you know that someday you will be up to the challenge ;) Good luck on your first day on the floor. It does get easier and less scary as time goes by. I am on my 10th week of orientation and it has gotten easier and sometimes I leave work with a big :D and wonder that I actually get paid to care for these people for a while and try to make their days a little less scary, too.
