Thank you both!
Muppy gave me a nice little cup of perspective and with a new day comes a fresh breath.
I am going to take my experience of yesterday and help them guide me in my nursing techniques today.
I need to take that breath and realise confidence in nursing is built and it is built by laying one brick at a time. I am very lucky to work in a place that offers endless support and kindness, from the top down. I even had the DON come and give me some kind and encouraging words welcoming me to the team.
I think I was just overwhelmed at exactly how much I don't know. Thankfully I am surrounded by people who do know what to do and are happy to guide me. It is even more reassuring to know that I have you Muppy, my very own cyber mentor and RN advisor.
Got a day off today then I am on for five days. After weeks off work I will officially have worked 7 out of the last 8 days, ending on Australia day! Then I am going to enjoy dropping back to a .6 and a .2 doing social support for the aged.
Australia day! Double time and a half, CHA-CHING BABY
