You know....

I remember passing my state boards in cosmetology back in 1990 (that rhymes), anyway it was such a great feeling. I have never really left that field in all of these years even though, prior to that, I had recieved my associates degree in Interior Design. Learning is endless and you learn more on the job than any state board will teach you. The best of luck and always remember that you should love what you do in life for it to be most rewarding.

It's not easy in the beginning because your new and most nurses eat there young. Hold to your decisions, hold your head high, learn the most you can, cause this is the time when you actually learn nursing, not in school. In no time you'll be teaching the rookies. Be careful and make sure they don't stick you in situations that aren't safe and you can call safe harbor after taking pts or say no prior to taking them. You can never walk out and abandon a pt or they can take your license. If you need to know anything, I mean anything from diagnosis to treatment, let me know. I will help. You will do fine because if you have the strength and intellect to make it through nursing school, you can do anything. Be confident but not overconfident because that is where you can get into trouble and always admit when you made a mistake. We are human and it happens. I don't care how good you are and don't lie about it which I'm sure you wouldn't do. Go get em!
