Thanks everyone! hugs
I'm a bundle of nerves right now; excited and terrified all at the same time.
Taking 4 years off of nursing is not the same as taking 4 years off an office job. I deal with peoples' lives and they depend on me to know my technical skills but more importantly to be able to observe them for any change in their health. So needless to say I'm feeling quite rusty.
I was assured today that once I'm finished the back to work program that I will not be thrown to the wolves. I will get as much orientation as I feel I need and I'll have some sessions with a clinical resource nurse to go over some of the technical stuff, like IV insertion and the pumps. So that made me feel loads better.
I swear I'm going to have Renderosity withdrawals! But it's not like I won't be here, just not "living" here as I have been.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
