Transition

[aerorunner80, ADN, BSN, MSN, APRN]

I hope I'm not alone in this.

I have been on the job for almost 4 months now. I come off orientation in 2 weeks. Yikes!

Anyhow, I feel like now that I've graduated, my whole life is turned upside down and I'm turning into a new person. I'm scared because I was so happy before and I'm trying so hard to hang on to that happiness but it's hard in the midst of change.

I'm making the transition to a professional. I've never been a professional anything in my 30 years, other than a professional student. :lol2::lol2:

Do any of you feel this huge change coming about in your lives? I'd really like to think I'm not alone in this.

Yes you are one of us! Walk around with your head held high, always keep asking lots of questions, learn everything new you can everyday, exude confidence, and you will be OK!
