be a good nurse

Today was awful, the pts kept coming one after another, I was hours behind on my work. But that was okay, I took a deep breath and kept at it, I never got everything I wanted accomplished, but one pt of mine, maybe the sickest, was crying from intractable pain and I stopped held her hand, talked quietly to her until she calmed down. She died a few hours later… maybe I can be a good nurse.

wow today was insane, i was called every name in the book, i think i made at least ninety mistakes, and was very ackward, i hope i figure this out soon. I breezed through nursing school and thought i was perfectly capable of doing this job with my eyes closed. Today proved how wrong I was!

I just recieved my nursing license. I know I should be excited. I am terrified. While in school I always thought I would be working in a nursing home. You know, basically a pill pusher. No, instead I got a great job working in a hospital. I feel like I am in way over my head and that when the other nurses find out they are going to fire me. I have already seen more in the first two weeks than I saw in clinicals at school. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be good at this or at least not kill any one!
