I cannot believe I haven't posted in almost a year.

This is embarrassing. I am still alive! I've just been so busy.

I've been on my own in the ICU with my own patients since January. It's going quite well for me so far, knock on wood. I still like my job a lot - in fact I like it much more than I did when I first started.

I still feel sort of hesitant about things some of the time - not at work though, but in odd social situations. Like half my family was upset that I hadn't reminded them it was nurse's week so they could have planned to buy me something. Um... but I've only been a nurse for a little while, I am not "really" a nurse yet. Am I?
