Many nurses deal with feelings of anxiety, especially when they are new to the field. If you’re feeling anxious and nervous on the job, give yourself some time to adjust.
The first few months of a new career or simply a new job can be nerve wracking. You may feel unsure of your skills and abilities. Try to relax, breathe, and take your time. Mistakes may happen, but when you calm down and focus, you’re less likely to make them.
Find a nursing mentor to help guide you and answer your questions. Eventually you will overcome those feelings of anxiety and settle into your role as a skilled nurse.
