Tomorrow I start my orientation for a LTC facility..... I am excited, nervous, scared, joyful, and a few other unnamed emotions. I have been waiting 2 weeks to start out... I just have orientation to the facility on Thursday and Friday which is just in a classroom, then 2 more days of "nursing" orientation as in the classroom then I was told I could have 2-3 weeks of orienation on the floor depending on my needs... She said that I could ask for more, but they would probably not do more than 4.... I am a little worried because my good friend works at a LTC (different one) and she only had 2 days orientation to floor before she was on her own..... I plan to speak up and ask for more if I don't feel comfortable, but what if follow through with the original plan?? I am probably worrying too much!
Words of encouragement? Advice?
Anyway- I have super cute scrubs to wear for work and comfy shoes! So let the work begin!!

Congrats on the job! :)
I wouldn't worry too much because your friend works at a different LTC. Do speak up if they don't follow through with what they promised.
