Agree. I don’t understand nurses that eat their young. But it can be frustrating when you encounter a nurse who will not listen and thinks they know everything (especially when they are a newbie). Nursing is all about experience.
I’m really struggling with all of these feelings. I’m so not into the culture where everyone would rather talk about new people instead of telling/ helping new people figure out what they did wrong. People don’t value mentorship, it’s really disappointing.
How about “How To Be a Healthy Preceptor for New Grad Nurses” or we can just learn to show kindness and compassion because we were all new at one point 🤔
So basically...pretend like you learned nothing in nursing school at all so that seasoned nurses can hold onto their ego....? That doesn't sound like a new nurse's problem, that sounds like a seasoned nurse's problem. I'm not saying a new nurse with a bloated sense of knowing it all is impossible, I'm sure they exist. However, I'm also sure that at least 90% of new nurses who come in exhibiting what they learned in school is just trying to point out to the best of their ability that they are as competent as school could allow them to be and that they want to be a good nurse. Just because there is so much more to learn on the job, does not mean that every seasoned nurse needs to look down on the new ones and REQUIRE the new nurses bow down to "their highnesses" in order to not be hated. This advice is bullshit. How about seasoned nurses just get over themselves?
She never said to bow down to anyone. Nothing was said about an ego. I’m a seasoned nurse and I can guarantee you I do not think I’m above anyone. She is trying to help new nurses fit in to a hectic, fast paced environment and encourage them not to give up. It’s hard to be a baby nurse, I thought about quitting a few times. Thankfully I had great preceptors. And I will tell you, these new nurses that come out of school and act like they don’t need help at first, scare the shit out of me. Nursing is all about experience. You are correct, there are nurses who think they are on top, and they need to get off their high horse, but guess what? All of the other nurses more than likely don’t like them either. It goes both ways. No one likes a newbie who “knows it all” and has a chip on their shoulder or something to prove and no one likes a seasoned nurse who acts like the queen of England. You completely misconstrued the words in this video.
I agree. Just the title “how to not be the new nurse EVERYONE hates”…. It should be a team effort period. Then she’s “I’ve been a nurse for 9 years” So these are HER preferences for new nurses.
I graduated in 1961 from a 3 Year Program at the local hospital. We had floor duty after 6 weeks in training with clinical instructors .It gradually worked up to full time with patients. Why do they now spend so much time in book learning instead of clinical skills.
@franklinmimi Because it is all about the school's pass rates for the nclex. They don't teach critical thinking anymore, now it's "call the doctor" and they simply teach to pass a test.
@@wendyl6185 I think that maybe your personal experience. Sure, I'd love more time on clinical skills, but I do think my school was big on critical thinking and live simulations where we have to figure things out with a safety net behind us, giving us feedback. We also did NCLEX questions from the start of the program. Critical thinking was all we did. Memorizing content wouldn't have worked for my program and call the doctor was never an option except to get more orders. In fact, call for help with any specialty was never an option except for code situations where you're supposed to call for help first.
One of the RNs I use to work with told me that nowadays Nurses that are better prepared academically are able to monitor their patients and are able to intervene or alert the proper personnel. But I agree. There is WAY too much emphasis on academics. Although it is VERY important, applying it and actually doing the skills is much more which is lacking in Nursing programs today.
As a new nurse, if I tried to ask a question, then, they would say, you are not competent (even though you are in training). So, I normally ask Google for anything I do not know... Personally, I can see some people are very helpful and friendly, then they can always help. Anyone who wants to criticize you will question your competency anytime you have a question. Then they use the evidence to report to DNS to fire you as a new grad.
I wouldn’t even worry about these so called seasoned nurses because they rarely exist these days. Almost every hospital I’ve traveled to as a RN the units are filled with nurses that have only been nurses for under 2 years. Once you hit 6 months or less you’re suddenly thrown into the charge nurse position… it’s ridiculous. Hospitals do not value their seasoned nurses so they leave once they realize that new grads are making the same if not more than they are. It’s the unfortunate reality of greedy hospitals.
Those tips are great thank you. As a mature nurse I am finding it hard to blend in... colleagues think because I am a mature qualified student that I know a lot more and have more experience. 🤯😩
Yes! I’m an NP who recently started working PRN in an ER as an RN and a lot of people think I don’t need help. I’ve never worked in the ER. I have to remind them I’m a baby in the ER.
While I’m not a new nurse, I just started in the ER, and have definitely had some of these feelings. As a seasoned nurse, I definitely agree it is annoying to hear a brand new baby nurse say or act like they know everything. I would much rather hear “i don’t know, show me”. It’s completely normal to feel like you’re awful and scared when you first start, I’m more worried about people that don’t feel scared when they show up for their first job. I enjoy baby nurses (ones that want to soak it all in). Now that I’m in the ER, I’m a baby ER nurse and trying to soak it all in. Great video!
Maybe nurses should stop being so mean and catty, especially to the new nurses they need cause they are so short staffed. You should be targeting crappy preceptors

How about we don’t hate people because they’re new or different?
This !!!!! Be kind, be non-judgemental!! Isn’t that what we are taught as nurses!

Exactly
Thank you so much 😊
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Toxic work culture things

I like u I m alone 😍😍😍❤❤🌷🌷🌷
Everyone has to start somewhere! The main thing is to ask for help when needed.
Romano Gitano Exactly
Exactly! And if you encounter one of those crotchety, mean nurses, just find someone else to ask ☺️

Nurses constantly complain they are short staff, then they get new nurses and instead of building them up, they scare them away
She does not look like she graduated in 2009
This is such a toxic title for a video omg hahahahha just be yourself and screw what anyone thinks
My question to my preceptor is : 'will I get any better eventually?"😆
This is so Me right NOW!!
I truly appreciate your tips! I’m getting ready to start my new RN career! This was such a phenomenal video! You rock! ❤️👏

Shrewd advice

Nothing worse than a new nurse pretending to know what they don't!
It’s scary and dangerous.
You get breaks
😊
No one will hate you if your in your phone. That's not good advice
😁
9 yrs exp ..lol lol
I kinda thought the same thing. I’ve been a nurse for 14 years and by definition, I am a seasoned nurse, I still learn something new everyday.
