I often share with my students how important their first job will be. I am an LVN instructor. We as instructors help lay a foundation for learning. In most instances many students graduate from school feeling very nervous and unprepared. I encourage them to be a sponge on their first job, learn as much as you can on your first job because that is where you will be able to put your theory and clinical practice into play. It is alaways rewarding when your students return  with a success story!
