Happy but nervous

I'm so glad that I made the transition to Public Health. I can't begin to explain the difference in the way I feel when I get up in the morning and go to work. I don't dread it. I actually love my job. The people I take care of, the people I work with. They are all amazing. I don't know why I just didn't start in PH. Med surg was horrible, but I did learn a lot. It has made my transition into this setting so much easier.

Now to the bad. I have to do a sort of preceptorship doing breast and pelvic exams. I don't know why that makes me so nervous, but new things tend to make me want to throw up. My heart races and I feel sick to my stomach. I hate being observed, but I guess if I get this over with I can work alone. It probably won't be that bad. I'm sure it won't. I'll probably love the experience. I'll have to wait and see.

I'm currently trying to enjoy thanksgiving with the family. I have a few more days off to relax before returning to work. Guess I'll get back to that.
