Delimma Solved

Tuesday at school we had some previous graduates that came to talk
about transitioning from student to nurse. They scared me. They talked
about how some days they questioned why they even wanted to be a nurse
because it was so difficult. They talked abiit hiw the older nurses
are mean and don't help-they have a sink or swim mentality. That makes
me so nervous. I sometimes wake up worried about graduating and where
to work. Today, while at clinical, I decided I want to work here - St.
Luke's East in Lees Summit. It is a new hospital with young nurses who
are so nice. And my clinical instructor now is in charge of helping
new graduates transition. I'm sold and I feel much better about
graduating now. Maybe I will be able to sleep better now.

See, I told you so.

Most people that go to nursing school have never done anything in the medical field (and they often find out they hate the job but have invested the money and have to stay).

You've been a CNA and a patient care tech. You know how the job works. You know that nurses really to help each other (unless they suck, and you don't want their help anyway).

We all know you'll be fine.
