FYI: As a new nurse, if you get hung up on the negatives you will give up quickly. A very good book for new graduates is Your First Year as a Nurse. The book is filled with advice on how to stay organized, how to chose your first nursing job, how to work with physicians, deal with fear, make contacts, identify goals, prioritize tasks, techniques to enhance your self-esteem and avoid burnout - a must-read for nursing students or a new graduates.
