Hello Teacher!
I am a recent graduate and now faced with a big decision. I've got a job and I'm going to start working in a few days. My profession is nursing, but I lack confidence in my hands-on skills. I didn't want to get into the workforce so soon, but my parents really wanted me to work as soon as possible. For the last two days, I've been in a deep state of anxiety and don't know what to do.
Facing your first job after graduation may face various challenges, but I believe that as long as you take it seriously, actively learn and adapt, you will be able to overcome difficulties and succeed.
I can understand your concern about your lack of confidence in your own operations as you mentioned. For nursing work, the acquisition of skills proficiency and experience is very important, and these require the accumulation of time and practice. It's normal that the skills and experience may not be abundant enough at the stage when you are just graduating. However, that doesn't mean you can't do the job.
I suggest you try the following:
1.Learn and master professional skills: At work, you can ask experienced colleagues for advice and learn and master professional skills carefully. At the same time, you can improve your skill level by attending training courses, self-study, etc.
2.Be proactive: At work, maintain a proactive attitude, actively participate in the work, and take the initiative to take responsibility, which can increase your experience and self-confidence.
3.Build self-confidence: Try to give yourself some positive feedback and encouragement to build self-confidence. Don't worry too much about whether you are proficient in your operation, and believe in your ability and potential.
4.Seek support: If you're confused or helpless, ask family, friends, or colleagues for support and help. They can provide you with emotional support and encouragement to help you through difficult times.
Finally, I would like to tell you that adapting to a new job requires a certain amount of time and effort, so don't be too yourself. At the same time, I also hope that you can maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and believe that you can overcome difficulties and succeed. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask me or other colleagues for help. I wish you all the best in your work and all the best.
