I'm a month away from starting at a new and hopefully my last clinical site before graduation. I am feeling completely overwhelmed tonight about starting somewhere new and the fact that the new place is 4-5 hours away from home.
I just started a new job two months ago and already feel like I belong there so I don't know why I'm so worried about fitting in. I never seem to have a hard time anywhere I go but all the anticipation and anxiety before hand is exhausting. Starting somewhere new is hard because it takes time to get to know people and to learn the routines and culture of a new place. In addition to this, I have to continue to learn how to actually do the work, something I already knew going in to this new nursing job.
The being away from home part is also concerning me. I don't want to be away from my kids but it has come to this. Nothing in Vegas has worked out. So next month, off I go to chase my dream hoping that my kids won't miss me too much, my house won't fall apart, I won't sleep through my alarm too often, I'll be able to keep my job, my husband will still love me, and my friends will still call me.
