Wish me luck!!!!

I have no pointers but just wanted to say congrats on your new job and good luck.

I am starting my first job as an LPN today and am kinda nervous. I will have 20 pts and am orienting to the medpass and such. They are starting me for a couple of day shifts and then I will be working 3-11. That is this week and then next week I am orienting with hospice for a per diem position as the first job is only 32 hrs a week. Anyone have any pointers as I jump out into this new job. Any advice is helpful. ty

Also, CONGRATULATIONS on yur first position.

I started my first position 8 weeks ago and all I can say is look at everything as a learning experience and don't get overwhelmed by the work, fellow-employee attitudes, or resident attitudes. ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS and don't be afraid of appearing stupid.

Carry a small note book and make a cheatsheet for your hall. That helped me a lot.
