This title in other editionsFirst Year Nurse: Wisdom, Warnings, and What I Wish I'd Known My First 100 Days on the Jobby Barbara Arnoldussen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Nothing is more daunting than your first 100 days in a new profession — unless you go in prepared. Who better to advise you on how to successfully make it through than hundreds of experienced nurses who have been successful themselves? Benefit From Their Wisdom: Never call a physician without all the facts — vital signs, baselines, labs, meds, history, etc.! I now have all of my "ducks in a row" before calling the MD. It really doesn't matter how well you can give a shot or do a dressing change. Usually, the best medicine is a good conversation. Learn from Their Mistakes: Be ready to let go of the false belief that you must "know everything" right away in order to be a good nurse. The imposter syndrome, while rampant among new nurses, doesn't serve us well! Go to the bathroom when you need to! (Nurses are notorious for "holding it!") And Remember That Humor Conquers All: There's nothing like eating popcorn from an unused bedpan. I get to have as many free band-aids as I want! Synopsis:Your first 100 days at a new job could be daunting---unless you go in prepared. First Year Nurse places the wisdom and warnings of hundreds of experienced nurses right at your fingertips. You'll learn all about how to start off on the right foot; plan and prioritize; communicate with your colleagues; cope with challenging patients; keep your energy up (and stress down); and set a course for professional growth. Best of all, you'll be inspired by the compassion, insight, and enthusiasm you'll find on every page of this charming, helpful book. Features:
