Where did you start working right after getting your RN license?

Published

Did you start off at a nursing home? Hospital (ER, ICU, etc)?

People judge me for wanting to start off in a nursing home. They say it's not challenging enough.

I want to start there because I don't want to start off in a hospital yet, I'm afraid of messing up and getting in such huge trouble. Lives depend on you and the thought of messing up the first day or so, is a living nightmare for me right now

I start nursing school this spring 2016. But just thinking ahead makes me so nervous and having small anxiety attacks

How was it the first month or so where you worked? Have you ever messed up? Tell me some stories and advice :)

Anyone who says SNFs are "not challenging enough" have clearly not set foot inside one recently. Period.

Right? I only just finished fundamentals. Half at LTC and half at medsurg. I'd be more terrified of LTC. So much responsibility, so little support.
