  Today when I showed up for my placement I knew my preceptor was not going to be there and I was to be paired with another nurse. Well, that nurse called in sick and they could not find anyone to replace her. So, it was all about me. I had to be a real nurse today. 2 suppositories and a million pills later everyone is still alive.
Whew! I can't pretend I didn't send up little prayers every now and then that nothing would go wrong. But, I have to admit, it was a good ego boost. Knowing I can do this job. Maybe I will even make a bit of money at it eventually. I feel so adult-like...weird.
