Tomorrow I start my transition clinical agency and I am so anxious/nervous/scared.

This next step will be hard for me, whenever they put me in a new setting I feel so lost, lose confidence, and feel anxiety. Also I will be busy and gone from home more than I am used to. My safety sofa cannot come with me and my blanket stays at home!! ;-)

Big changes ahead!

Just remember, Lisa, people only like to talk about the bad things.

I'm sure you are right Sheri Ann, but even my instructor was a little worried when I talked to her today. Not a good sign. But I am trying to stay positive, I heard really bad stories about my instructor too and she is really great with me. Even gave me a hug the other day...so with that in mind I am going to *try* and keep an open mind.

I started my "prayer shawl" and so far it looks great. I read about these and wanted to try it and I already feel more calm. My girls each want one...LOL. So I have 3 orders waiting.

Maybe this mentor is a real curmudgeon. But, just like you charmed your instructor, I think you can do the same with your mentor;)


Crocheting is a great stress reducer. All the needlecrafts are. When we have the big A/P/P reunion on Oahu this fall, we'll teach Sheri Ann how to do it. Ok, Lisa??? LOL


Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

Thanks Jan,

Today wasn't too bad but still overwhelming. My preceptor was ok, not as bad as everyone said *but* waiting for a couple more days to make my final decision ;-)

I did not sleep well, kept getting up and looking at my clock. Afraid I will oversleep and I have 2 alarms set! I'm a nut..lol Tonight I plan to set a third and maybe I can sleep better.

My crocheting kept my mind off things last night though.

Thanks Sheri Ann,

I think the precepter is *ok*. She is set in her ways and does things kind of old school, and definately does not try to make friends. She is there for her work only and the residents so I do have respect for her.

Hugs,
Lisa

I, personally, would prefer a preceptor like that.
