I start my dream job tommorow but im terrified !

1 minute read time.

It seems a long time coming but i start work at the hospital tommorow ,i have wanted this job for so long and as i said to someone if its right it will happen , i am a firm believer in fate, so why am i so worried ? , im not sure if ive got the confidence to start again , ive been through so much ,and yes thats given me strength ,

Also im not ready to tell people im a widow ,its such a hard conversation but of course im still wearing all my rings and not sure if i can face not wearing them at work , as normal policy is no rings ,i also wear ju,s wedding ring on my necklace and we not allowed them either for health and safety ,

On the positive side which i always try and see , ive done so much studying over last few weeks so that should be a good start if i can get over my nerves , it will be a shock to my brain doing a 40 hour week again and using my brain ,

Im just trying to keep in my mind how proud ju would have been of me and hope that gets me through tommorow because if im honest im shaking in my boots, which i also was at the interview but that worked out ok , so lets hope so does tommorow , i will let you all know how it go,s hugs xxxx

    Hey Jen, I feel the same way, i start at my local hospital on 4th oct. We will both be fine. obviously our circumstances are not the same but i am dreading just having an 'off ' day and having to explain to someone why i am upset i have never really had to do that yet. My friends and family just know.

    I can only imagine how difficult it will be to not wear your rings, i feel lost without mine but yours has so much more of a meaning now.

    Ju will be so proud of you just as we all are.  You will be fine tomorrow i just know it and i can't wait for all your updates so that i know what i've got coming my way in a couple of weeks.

    Good Luck Hun, I'll be thinking of you.

    Jen you will be absolutely fine.  The first day in a new job is always daunting but this is the job you really want and once you've got there you'll really enjoy it.  Ju would be very proud of you and will be by your side.  Love Caroline XX

    Hi Jen

    Good luck. I am so glad for you that you will be managing to work and a new job too. You go girl!! (sorry gone all american on you.) and yes you should be allowed to keep a simple wedding ring on. I know if I ever manage to walk back onto the wards at work there is no way those rings are comming off until I am ready, if they insist I think I may go back off on sick. Not helpful to you, but I do believe they can't insist you take the wedding ring off.

    Good luck, it will go fine

    Hi Jenni, Congratulations, not many of us get the chance to do the job we would love - and get paid for it too !

    Know your knees might be knocking a little on your first day - but you have coped with so much life has thrown at you - you have earned this  fantastic oppotunity so grab and enjoy !

    I would not be suprised either if during your first couple of week you feel maybe you have made the wrong choice and wonder at your mad decision of a change of career - we all hate to be out of our comfort zone, but that will pass ! Just remeber how far you have come in such a short time - Your mates know you can do it !!

    The rings - ok that maybe hard at first - but you have Ju with you were it matters - in your heart and part of your childrens existance - forget the outward  signed - they don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

    Take care and enjoy your new Career Mate - you deserve it

    love and hugs

    John xx
