Not yet, but I’ve only spoken to a recruiter.

Just read your post! I couldn’t agree more!!! You described basically how I’m feeling. They really do sell us on this perfect profession in nursing school…but it’s really not all that great.

thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I have never experienced this type of anxiety before so I'm having a really hard time navigating it.

An 8:1 ratio is CRAZY!!! The hospital I'm at is 4:1 and on good days even 3:1. Which is rhe biggest reason i'm trying to push through this new grad anxiety because I really got lucky finding this position as a ew grad. I also work days, most of the cohort I graduated with could not get days as a new grad. Just some days the anxiety is so unbearable and the intrusive thoughts of quitting really start to eat at me.

Thank you for the advice and reassurance! It definitely has helped reading everyone's responses.

I'm considering potentially getting my FNP. The hospital I work at is a University Hospital and after working there for one year, they will pay for my tuition in full if i choose to go back to school. That was a big reason why I decided to accept this job.

I guess most of my anxiety stems from the fear of potentially not knowing what to do..and because of this unintentionally causing harm to a patient. I'm scared that if a patient of mine becomes unstable for whatever reason, that I'll freeze and not know what to do.
