Hi
I'm new here (but not to the forum..)
I'm starting a new job that brought me to move away from my family's home. I'm pretty confused as I had to leave my city and basically don't know anyone here. Plus I'm worried about making mistakes at the beginning. I had a training period and am not new to this career but everyone in the field has their own procedures and mistakes are not exactly allowed..
I've been away from home before but this time I'm particularly distressed (also due to other circumstances in my life) and I think I wasn't particularly stable to do this right now. But it's a career I really like and I got a good chance in a country deeply affected by the crisis so I feel sort of blessed. I'm really happy about this new life but also equally terrified.

Anyone been there? How do you usually cope?
Thanks for reading anyway..

Ambra, I've never been in your position, but I can certainly understand your having some fear about it. Especially, with it being in a different country. I've never moved far from my original home so I can't really help you out but wanted to wish you well on your new journey.

I start a new job tomorrow and I"m also nervous.
I'm going to do the best I can and see what happens. I've had some really awful jobs over the years, as an RN. I have no idea what I'm getting into, but I'll wait and see what happens.
Thanks for this!

Thank you for your words Gayleggg, it means a lot to me! Whether or not you've been in my situation, support is always very much appreciated

Good luck Jolisse! I know the feeling - hopefully it will be a good chance for both of us.. we'll see.
