First Week Recap

Things I've Learned So Far
- It's hard starting at a new place, be nice to yourself
- Be honest with what you can/can't do 
- Don't be afraid to speak up
- Don't be afraid to ask questions
- Everyone hates their first day
- There are great groups of staff anywhere you go

First morning at the hospital was rough. Getting lost three times trying to get to the right floor, admitting that I didn't know how to do skills they apparently thought I did, and looking five years younger than I am made for a really rough day. Everyone I came in contact with was very nice, but I left feeling pretty lousy. I made it through the first week though, and I feel like that is a really big accomplishment.
