Well, this is it...first night on own.

So after 6 weeks of orientation, tonight will be my first night on my own on my med surg floor. I am so nervous. Hopefully, tonight will go well. If anyone has any pointers I'm all ears. I'm just afraid I'm going to be as slow as a turtle. :)

    Ah, but the turtle did win as I recall.

    Good luck.

    I survived. I'm beating myself up over a few mistakes I made, but all 6 of my patients were stable during my shift and when I left. I guess that's a win! I'm gonna write some of my thoughts out on the shift and hopefully think of some improvements I can make.

    Congratulations. I will be doing the same on Sunday. Very nervous but excited to finally be a real nurse.

    I remember the first time I had to replace an IV after graduating to be on my own. Just me, the needle and the patient. It was unnerving NOT to have someone watching me. I survived. You will too.
