The many "unknown's", walking in and beginning a new shift, are often anxiety producing. Will I be caring for a dying patient today? Who will work along side me as my patient care assistant? Will I be assigned to the dreaded, cramped and busy nurse station on our floor? Will I have a "rapid response" this shift? Will I be mentoring any students? Will I float to another department? <BR/><BR/>Nurses must put fear of the unknown in their back pocket and walk through those hospital doors with confidence in their abilities to handle any challenge thrown their way. Our comfort zone is challenged every working day, as others' place their trust in our knowledge and strength.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162174003510350528noreply@blogger.com
