Re: newbie

Hi Jamie,

NEMO, which Madison linked, is filled with mentors who have been in your shoes - and survived.

We are trying to update the resources page, but there are some suggestions here which may help you: http://www.firstnemo.org/resources.htm Some of these mentor written papers are aimed specifically at rookies.

You are off to a great start because you are asking the questions.

There are also teams who have some great resources aimed at rookies. I like http://rookiefirsts.tumblr.com/home and http://moe365.org/moementum/moementum.php but there are also lots of others.

You will also discover that everyone at the events are happy to help.

Don't Panic!
