Okay so where do I begin? I didn't realize how much responsibility a nurse has on their shoulders. I feel overwhelmed with this weight. I am so afraid of making a mistake and doing something incorrectly. I am not sure that I am going to cut it! I know what I am good at and I know what I am bad at. I just don't know what I am supposed to do. I am feeling inadequate and its such a struggle to stay positive and keep on trucking. I think the hardest part of this is the fact that I was not anticipating the size of the emotional baggage that comes with this territory. I have taken solace in that anyone in my position, fresh out of nursing school and working is naturally going to feel this way. If they didn't then there is a cause for concern. Fortunately I have the advantage of having a debriefing session incorporated into my VERSANT program where we just talk and vent about what all we are feeling. It really helps, then I called my besty friend and she helped too. This journaling is also helping as well. Anywho thats all for now, but I will be posting some fun stuff too.

I can't begin to imagine what it's like, but remember you wouldn't be where you are if you couldn't handle it.
