"I feel really blessed that my first job out of nursing school was the best team I was a part of. It was on a Med/Surg unit in a large level one trauma center. The team was all open and honest in our communication with each other and helped pick each other up when help was needed. We worked with each other to help develop our skills. As a new nurse, I was the learner at first, trying to pick up skills from my experienced colleagues. In not too long, I was the educator by teaching some of the old dogs on the unit new tricks I had learned during my schooling and clinical rotations. In the end, it was such a respectful atmosphere where experience wasn't held against anyone."
