As Doctor Pru stood there reading the file her mouth turned down into a frown.
"Who triaged this patient?" She called out across the room to anyone who would pay her attention. Everyone ignored her except me. I knew whose file she had and I knew she'd make a fuss, not because there was a problem, but because she loved to pick faults and seemed to [...] Seasoned with Sage Over the last few years I've seen many new graduate nurses get jobs in some pretty intensive areas of healthcare, such as theater/recovery, emergency room, intensive care, pediatrics, and neonatal, to name but a few.
The young graduates are all smiles and full of excitement at landing such interesting jobs. Of course, the units taking on new grads often provide extra time to orientate the new [...] Seasoned with Sage I'm a school nurse; I left the ER behind: the stress, the shift work, the adrenaline. Now I work in an exclusive private boarding school in the European Alps. Naturally, like most affluent kids, they don't know how lucky they are.
One of the students told me the other day she wants to be a nurse. I asked her why, and she said she thought I [...] Seasoned with Sage Travel nursing takes a unique skill set as well as a flexible personality.
You know you are cut out to be a travel nurse if you have excellent clinical skills and love to travel. As a travel nurse, you’re constantly on the go, moving from state to state. This is exciting for individuals who enjoy learning about new cities—their history and culture. You don’t always know the [...] Seasoned with Sage As a nurse, technology affects my job.
I am surrounded by PCs, pumps, vein viewers, EKG machines, and other devices. You might think you knew everything there was to know about technology, until you hit the floor. You’ll learn even more. New nurses are surrounded by a variety of unfamiliar devices that you have to master via in-services or on the job-- often in a short [...] Seasoned with Sage Related: Anxiety, Attitude, Confidence, Gossip, Learning, New Nurse, New Nurse Tips, Nurse Relationships, Nursing Shortage, Professionalism
Building rapport with co-workers is challenging at any age and any stage of your career. For new nurse grads it can be overwhelming. The first day is always the hardest. Your own anticipatory anxiety can make things worse than they are in reality.
One of the most important things to remember is that there will be at least one person who you will annoy no matter [...] Seasoned with Sage Want the inside scoop on the NCLEX? As a nursing instructor, I recently interviewed some of my graduates about their experiences taking the exam. Here’s what I found out -- and I offer my advice for facing the one thing standing between you and your license:
Think Critically Many nursing graduates have a great deal of experience answering NCLEX-like questions. Surprisingly, though, several new grads found the [...] Seasoned with Sage A few years ago a physician with whom I’ve worked approached me about using my skills on a service trip to Africa. I jumped at the chance, despite the $2800 price tag. After sending out 100 support letters to friends and family, urging them to help the people of Africa through me, I raised a little over $1000. Luckily, the deficit was met through my [...]
Seasoned with Sage Ever felt like you were stuck in a bad situation and could do nothing about it?
Sometimes it’s the little things that can really help to turn things around. While there are many things that may be outside of your control, sometimes all it takes is one person choosing to focus on creating positive change to really get the momentum going A few ideas on how to [...] Seasoned with Sage You’ve heard the stories about over-the-top interviewing gaffes. Like the applicant who smelled her armpits as she walked through the door. Or the applicant who answered a personal call and asked the interviewer to leave the room for a few moments. Or the applicant who asked the interviewer for a ride home after the interview.
Most of us have enough sense to not make these blunders. [...]
