Today was my first day on the floor as an RN. I got to tell all my patients (6) that I would be their nurse (along with another nurse that was training me). I got to do a lot of discharge teaching, medication teaching, dressing changes, IV changes, CHARTING!!! WITH RN AFTER MY NAME!! I learned a lot about the unit after just 8 hours. I am so excited to go tomorrow again and even more excited to finally progress to the ICU in 3-4 weeks. My preceptor said I did a really good job today so I am hoping that maybe I can move to the ICU faster?
Anyway- its so weird to not have anything to worry. I got out of work, ran a couple errands, came home, cleaned/laundried, watched TV for half an hour... and now dinner is in the oven just waiting for Zach to come home to be served to. Like... this is life! So strange. I do have bad news though.. because I have been so stressed and insane for the past month over working and the NCLEX, I am now sick. Balrh!
