It never ceases to amuse me when I turn up to work and find I’ve either been assigned the team leader role, or am paired with a student. (Today I was blessed with a double-whammy.) I can’t help but chuckle. (Quietly, on the inside, of course.) Because, let’s face it, I just don’t see myself as qualified to fulfill either role. I don’t see myself as a leader or a mentor. I don’t feel old enough to have anyone answer to me. I feel like a fraud. I certainly don’t feel like any sort of authority. It wasn’t that long ago when I was the student. A few years’ experience hardly makes me an expert. Couple that with the fact that I’m still trying to gain a firm grasp on Aussie nursing, and the situation almost becomes laughable. What are my superiors thinking?!? I can only hope I sound somewhat knowledgeable and avoid making a complete fool of myself!
