On this episode, we are talking about some general tips for new nurses, so that you can make the most of your orientation and beyond. We are talking about:
1. Being honest about where you stand
2. Asking for help (and using your resources)
3. Using your "newness"
4. Writing everything down
5. Not stressing the skills
6. Learning "their" way, then finding your own
7. Not taking things personally, but also not standing for abuse
8. Jumping at learning opportunities
9. Finding a support or mentor
10. Giving yourself GRACE
I hope these tips can be helpful, and allow you to enter the field in a more positive manner, knowing that you are not alone! The Nursing Co-op is a community, and I want to hear your feedback and questions! Follow me @thenursingcoop and get in on the conversation. Happy Nursing!
