TurboNurse

I'm a new nurse starting my fist job in a level 3 NICU and am scared out of my mind! I also lead a very active life. I run, do triathlons, cycle, swim, and just recently added Tae Kwon Do to my arsenal of fun things to do.

Why do I keep going up and down in confidence?  I'm not even on the unit yet and my confidence has dipped already.

I hate this feeling.  I keep wondering if I can really do this and handle this.  Maybe it dipped because I realized that I will be going to nights very soon.

I'm very concerned about the 6 weeks of classroom time I will be having where it will be during the day and I will be working during the night.  I can tell you right now that I will not be handling that transition well at all.  6 weeks is a really long time to be doing that as well.

What is of great concern is that I will make a big mistake and that the shifting between the two different schedules will really mess with me and make me have a bad attitude.
