What is expected of a new nurse?

[Carla25]

I am 25 days away from graduation and I was curious of what skills are expected of a new nurse? I feel in my particular school we did not get alot of hands on experience as far as Injections and IV's This really worries me because I don't want to start a new job and not be prepared. Are these things that your preceptor will help you with? I understand that IV's take time, but the thing that I am concerned about is the injections. I have done a few, but I do not feel confident in this area.

new nurses are expected to have lots of training and experience, because no one is expecting you that you have a skilled hands after graduation.
