NewFNP is nervous.
Sure, change is good, it helps/forces you to grow and learn, it broadens your horizons, it affords you a bigger paycheck and a shorter commute - at least in this instance. But, fuck, change can suck. Role transitions are challenges, even when we are prepared for them, even when we have been longing for them. Being new anew. Learning each and every aspect of one's position again.
All of newFNP's friends and family are telling her that the new job is perfect for her - it's organized, protocol-driven and academic in focus. Hell, that's a fairly decent description of newFNP herself!
But, ugh, change. Even though her new supervisor is all about easing newFNP into the job, there lurks that part of newFNP that is worried that she will fail. Why would she fail? Who the hell knows, but she's still scared of it.
NewFNP saw some movies this weekend, bought some flattering black trousers and designer jeans and is enjoying her last night of vacation with a glass of wine and some EKG review.
Shopping, wine, George Clooney and studying: something(s) old for tonight, something new for tomorrow.

Oh my goodness, the suspense is killing me. We don't know each other, but I really enjoy your blog. I've been glad and excited for you that you have a new position--and can totally identify with the nerves you were feeling last night. I hope it was a really good first day, and wish you much success in your new endeavor.
Good luck!!! So excited for you!
