Tough Time?

To any of you guys who were like me and HATED clinicals:o

Cheer up! I just graduated in Dec. Clincals were so awful.

And so many nurses would roll their eyes and say, "If you think that's bad, just wait til you work." I was scared to death!

Well, now I'm working in a busy hospital on an oncology floor. The nurses are so nice and treat me with respect (imagine!).

I LOVE my new job. It is so much better than clinicals in EVERY way. :)

There is hope. Hang in there. And don't believe all the negatives.

There are some good hospital jobs out there. :balloons: Nurscee

After yet another clinical day, I found myself talking out loud in my car saying "please tell me this gets easier". And so you did. Thanks.

I hate clinical too..and I think the reason is because I'm not totally sure of everything and learning something new isn't fun until I build up their confindence. There is something about "being trained" that I don't like. For example, I remember having to learn a new waitressing job, so it's kinda like the same thing. Once we get the swing of things, I think it will be alright. And remember, you aren't getting paid at clinicals, not to sound cynical or anything but once we builf confidence and start making money, i'm sure it will be much better. For now, it blows!
