- Back with some more #nursetalk for the new #nurse. Many nurse graduates will be starting their first nursing job and I want to offer some advice and tips to help jumpstart their career. #nurse #newnurse #nursing
Great advice.
Seasoned nurses should be kinder too new nurses, knowing that they were once in that position!
One would think right?! Thank you!
My first and best advice was be humble. Accept the knowledge and feedback from others. Be professional with CNAs, phlebotomists, secretary, and housekeeping. Everyone is part of the team.
Awesome advice. I’m just wrapping up my first semester, and I turned 50 this week. I know people will look at me and assume that I’m experienced and that I know what I’m doing, so I need to get comfortable saying “I’m new” and asking for help.
Hey congrats... I'll be 33 this year and I myself am looking to get into nursing school... I was feeling a bit embarrassed because usually these new and bushy bright eyed nurses are in their early 20s..im trying to become a lpn to start... Now looking into what school I should apply to....
Keep a journal.
Cover your behind!
I love how you go straight to the point 👌👌,and your points are ✅✅✅
I don’t want to hold you all up!
Thank you! I’m in the military and your EXACT MINDSET of training new folks is the climate I’ve been fighting to implement for years in the military (Coast Guard). That level of emotional maturity to guide and mentor students/new grads is phenomenal!
I only hope to have half that emotional maturity in a future instructor if I go into nursing.
Great content and tips! Keep it up! I agree, we all continue learning something new.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment.
Great advice to all nurses! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Just thinking it might be nice to have you as my preceptor 😂 thank you for your thoughts!
Are you new to nursing? I love precepting and did it a few times ❤️
@@KendraRN I've been an LVN for 8 years but a new grad RN in May! 😊
This is excellent advice! As a new nurse, I am guilty of not taking breaks until 11 or 12 and lunch around 2 or so. I work 12-hour weekends 7a-7p and I like to make sure all of my tasks are done before I break although my nurse supervisor says to make sure I'm taking my breaks and some stuff can wait until I have taken a break. I think that is the Type A personality in me by needing to get everything done. This was excellent advice. I had great instructors both in the classroom and in clinical. I think you are awesome and would have loved to have had you as a clinical instructor. You are very thorough and your explanations are clear and precise!
Thank you so much!
I’m saving this video 😉
Thank you for taking the time to share this VERY IMPORTANT information 🌹❤️
I hope it really helps! Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing! This is super helpful 💜
Thank you Ali!
Thanks for being a Top Nurse.
Wow, I have been binge watching ur vids and I just wished that I had a u 25yrs ago. I know that I was called to be n healthcare; I delighted in the care of patients as a PCA in a local hospital and I was constantly encouraged by nurses, doctors etc to further my training, so I did just that........ just to do all of that schooling and walk completely away from healthcare. From racial disparities, bureaucracy/politics, cliques, bullying etc was just all too too much.
Im almost inclined to contact DOE about my license; u r extremely encouraging and I am much older than u r. U r truly an asset to only to nursing but humanity as a whole.
Love your honesty
Thank you Lyra
Invaluable tips! Thank you
My goal is to provide insight about direct care at the bedside. Thank you!
THANK YOU ❤
This video is great ! I interviewed for a LPN position in a rehab facility (I pray that I get it) and my biggest fear is that I won’t be quick as the other staff and that I will ask a lot of questions while may make me “handicapped “ on the shift. You hit all of my fears in this video and I will definitely keep this video on heavy rotation 😊Thank you for this sooo much !!❤
Thank you so much for your encouragement and support! This is great information
You’re so welcome!
Omg just stumbled upon your channel and this video. This is such a very good video and great advice for a new nurse. As a new grad I thank your for all this important information.
So glad you found value in it. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great advice!
Thank you!
When you are giving advice, I feel like it is my mother saying this.
Awwwww that made me smile. I hope my advice is helpful.
Awww thank you so much, I just passed my NCLEX 78 and out!
🍾🍾🍾🍾 Congrats Julie! That’s an awesome way to end the year. 🥳🥳
@@KendraRN yes indeed, thank you
However I am feeling very scared because of the bullying I faced during clinicals, I am glad you gave us great tips to face my fear 🙏
Other healthcare workers including doctors are usually understanding if you say you're new. In my experience, it's other nurses who get an attitude and will give you a harder time and act impatient if you say you're new.
Introduction is huge! Preceptors are not trained and therefore they trained you however they want.
I was handed a binder with what to do each week and my preceptor didn’t even look at it.
Plus mine takes brake around 3-4 when I asked I got pushed back.
He hated my black ass bc I spoke up.
I love nursing but had to quit bc of the preceptor and educator not listening to me asking for someone else instead became a target.
New subscriber, can u make a video of yourself and how you come to the decision that you wanted to be a nurse. Also the schools that you attended, the different stages of excelling.wanted to know how difficult it is to be a nurse and still find time for your family.
That is def in my list. I sure will
Im thinking about doing a career change from social work to nursing, I love the health profession but hearing people say how exhausting it can be, how bedside nursing exploits nurses and how toxic the work culture is, it really discourages me.
Don’t be discouraged. I will be posting a video on why nursing is still a great career choice.
@@KendraRN thank you, you’re like a role model for anyone on a journey to nursing.
Hi Kendra I just came across your page and it’s soooo helpful I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind 1st do you feel med surg /hosp exp is needed for new nurses ? If so do you think Telemetry is a good floor to start ? And I’m in north east Ohio what should I ask for as far as pay? Thank you 😊
Hi Kendra, I found your channel and I love your videos. I have subscribed to your channel. If you don't mind me asking, do you have Caribbean background? I have friends from JA, and I think I hear it in your voice. No offense I am just curious to ask if it is okay.
New Graduate here 🤗 thank you 🙏🏽 I am preparing for NCLEX now. Any tips lol? Thank you for your service in this field. It gets “ruff”. I’ve worked as a PCT previously and I know it’s difficult at times.
Don’t wait too long to take the NCLEX. What are you using to study? Be sure to do all of the questions and read the rationales even if you got the question right. Reading the rationales right or wrong, helps you to understand why your selection was the right or wrong answer. Welcome to nursing! I’ll post more content geared to new nurses.
@@KendraRN thank you so much 😊 I am using Uworld and Mark K vids. Also would like your opinion, I have a son and I’ve been a little skeptical about working 12 hour shifts only because I am the primary provider. Do you know of any positions that will suit someone like me. I would still like to stay fresh with my skills as well 😬
Hey! 12 hours are long but as a new grad, I’m not sure where else is best to start. Most places want to know that you’ve had some nursing experience. Is childcare an issue? Also I hear U World is really good, keep it simple.
@@KendraRN childcare isn’t too much of an issue, besides me wanting to be independent and not place the responsibilities on my parents. Although they live in close proximity they have lives as well. Loll. Yes ma’am, Uworld and Kaplan is hard to me and I can only get half of 50 questions correct. This isn’t a confidence booster. But I am going back to read rationals etc.
Sometimes Quizlet can help too. They have a good amount of “practice” questions on there. Always remember that as an RN, you’re pretty much utilizing ADPIE. Know your systems (i.e. pulmonary, cardiac… etc.). What the common labs are as well as the treatment for the most common diseases. Find what works for you. Nclex wants you to do something as an RN, and most likely not to just “observe” or to call the physician until you’ve already exhausted what you would do as an RN first.
Thank you!!! #newgrad #ipassed #imadeit #(R)espect my(N)ame #I eaRNed this
Super, super congrats!!! Welcome to the profession Nurse Devin! 🙌🏾🥰
@@KendraRN thank you!
One of my big pet peeves is when new nurses come to work like they just rolled out of bed!! Ugh! But then you see pics on Facebook where they get dressed up to go out on a date or out with friends! Really? Geez this is your profession! Look like a professional! Patients and their family members make judgments about your abilities to take care of patients, if you can't even take care of yourself! It's sloppy!
I have been an RN for 23 years. The profession has really declined. Go into something else. Ultra sound tech, respiratory tech, PT NOT nursing poor long term career outcome. Work for a plastic surgeon doing facial treat ments
It’s definitely changed, alot if nurses who’s been in it for long are saying the same thing.
@darlenelake1657 - Your comment stuck with me. I’ve been considering this field on and off for awhile. Can you be more specific in terms of how you feel nursing has declined? Genuinely curious as I haven’t started just yet. Hope you reply.😊
@@KendraRN- loving your channel. Can you please do a video in what ways the field has changed since you started? Also, maybe a video about charting and documentation - what is it, how it works, how to do it properly. I’ve heard that nurses spend more time on computers then with their patients? I’m still on the fence. Have been considering for quite some time. Hope you can make a video or two or please tag me on a video on the topic if it already exists. Thanks in advance 😊.
