I am in a new residency program and struggle with giving nurse handoffs. Some ICU nurses told me that I give ineffective handoffs, which made me feel terrible. I'm looking into improving my handoff report. I love this content.
Give report to your preceptor first,ask her to help you fix the problem you have,and then you will be perfectly fine!I am in residency as well.Started two weeks ago
As a new graduate RN working in PICU, I’m struggling to adapt to the environment as it’s sooo different from the wards and we see things that have never been talked about in nursing school. I really love caring for peds and the seeing difference we make in ICU so I wanna get better and more efficient as a member of the team. This video rlly hit strong points of the struggles I’ve experienced in ICU (time management, getting flustered with tasks, the judgey coworkers…). I think this video rlly helped me greatly and will always return to it when I need a reminder😊 thanks so much !
Thanks for listening and PICU is going to be a huge learning curve as a new grad. Remember to celebrate your wins and we are here to support 🫶🏽 You've got this
Thank you so much for putting out this content! I'm four months into my first nursing job in a NCC, and from what I've found, there's remarkably little information available about the practical details of critical care nursing. I feel like I'm learning everything by trial and error, and it's unsettling because it's so consequential for the patients. For example, I recently spoke with another new grad in critical care about navigating contradictory provider orders in Epic. Experienced nurses seem to know when to refer to the surgery team's orders vs the intensivist vs when to recognize an order is no longer appropriate. My own unit had an issue where an important order "fell off," and because the nurse wasn't trained/experienced enough to recognize the situation, an important intervention was discontinued. Trying to learn from other nurses yields mixed results ("blind leading the blind") and following advice may backfire, leading to criticism from the next shift. It can feel like you're set up to fail, it's not easy on the ego to fail in front of some of these personalities. As a nontraditional student in his 30s, healthcare seems like a bubble inhabited by people who have lost (or never had) awareness of what the rest of the world expects from a professional environment. All of this is to say I'm grateful you're making these videos
there is more and more info out there but you're right, we often miss talking about the practical details. Thank you so much for taking the time to write your feedback. Our goal has always been to explain the why so that you can develop that experienced nurse brain. You seem to be on the right track, stay inquisitiveyou've got this!
Am in love with your channel, preparing to do my nclex, currently working in ICU in Kenya and just wanted to have a feel of what to expect out there, with this I knw how I will cope even if I don't end up working in ICU...
I’m so in love with all of this content as a nursing student !!! I just confessed in my nursing class this week that my weakness is giving report. However, thanks for explaining everything and helping me give report.
Like many people, I completed an undergraduate degree in psychology. My focus was on memory and cognition . Even decades ago, it was a well-established fact that people don't remember information accurately. And the same set of objective details are remembered differently by different individuals. Our reality and memories are quite subjective. This understanding is significant in communication and conflict resolution. This research is also significant when it comes to remembering significant data and observation and sharing that information. Now i navigate healthcare as a new nurse and it makes no sense to me that verbal orders exist and are not read back and verified . Taking vitals and assessments without documentation is a setup for error. Again, my statements are supported by decades of research - which you also mention in this video. Those people that think they remember everything correctly - no, no, you are not.
human memory is unreliable and verbal orders should be the exception not the rule. Hope the episode gave you other insight as well into giving report. Thank you for listening and for your insights
I'm a new grad who will be in the cath lab and get about 6 weeks in the ICU first (and then also ED and pre/post area). I do have 7 yrs Lpn experience but not acute care. I'm so terrified, especially since I won't be doing a full orientation, only condensed. Thanks for your tips!
Wow! It’s a lot to learn in a short time- make sure to ask questions, study in your time off, and don’t be afraid to ask for more orientation if you need it. Most importantly be kind to yourself!
I get uncomfortable when my server wants to memorize my order at Olive Garden. I especially want checklists, notes, cheat sheets and whatnot being used by my nurses if I’m on life support.😅
There are two sides to this and a middle ground. You have to memorize certain things but also guides and report sheets are an incredibly helpful tool. Like when you give report for example. Thank you for listening and I hope the episode was helpful 🫶🏽
Thanks so much for making and sharing this video, the info provided is very useful! By the way, I just wanna say the truth that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the way, the truth, and the life 💞 He loves you unconditionally and the Bible tells you so 😘
Great content. BTW, not all new grad nurses are 'young'.. there are those who transitioned roles or careers who are older. 😃
Exactly! My RN BSc N program has students from 30s to 70s! I am 50! New nurse but much life and work experience.
I’ll be 45.
Thank you for saying this. I’m 52😊
51 yr old new grad nurse here! 🙌🏻
Nurses from wherever they are should be valued more. Thankyou for your service. Stay blessed 🙌🏼

Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
I loved this video...this is awesome. I struggle so much to not get in all details so ty.
Glad it was helpful!

amazing! giving report is a skill that just needs practice. Once you start doing it regularly you will be able to put all the pieces together
Absolutely it’s definitely a skill @@confidentcareacademy as long as I keep practicing I know I’ll get there. Thanks for the support.
of course! You will get there
This session was excellent. Thank you girls!

@confidentcareacademy yes, I agree 100 percent with what you say. It's all true!
