Starting on my own

Don't be afraid to use those resources. Also understand it's going to be a while before your confident and comfortable, and you may even feel overwhelmed at times. This is normal, don't panic.

This is what you've been after for the last several years, this is your time. Best of luck to you!

Tweety, you are never alone. You always have the others on the floor if you have questions or need help. It is the good nurses who asks questions, no matter how many years they've been on the floor. The ones that scare me are the ones who think they know everything. Don't be afraid to ask or admit that you need help. We all need help from time to time. Remember to have fun, smile, laugh...You will be amazed at how far that goes with a patient. You'll be fine. Just relax.

Just remember we have all been there! If you are unsure of something PLEASE ask someone!!! You are not expected to know it all at anytime in your career, but especially now. Take advantage of the time you have now to ask and learn. When you get to a certain point people will assume you knw it and won't so freely teach. You are going to do great! Within 6 months you are going to feel like a veteran!
