Registered Nurse (RN) Reviews - Page 83

I find there is never enough time in the day to complete everything I feel is necessary. I remember from school, the instructors told us to do what you can early as possible as you never know what the day will bring. Remembering this has helped me. When I started, I listened, looked, and absorbed all that I could from my peers. I loved working with nurses that had been in practice for a while. I found them to wise and a fountain of information. Be open and friendly, be part of the team...really be part of the team for without your co-workers nursing can be difficult.

Maintain basic nursing care. Remember and adhere to your nursing pledge throughout your career. Remember you are your patients advocate and maintain ethics at all times. Teach and share your knowledge with junior nurses. Treat your patient as if it was your family member in that hospital bed.

Be patience to your patients. Be responsible to your decision. Be careful to perform each nursing procedures. Be a good nurse.

Take a deep breathe, stop think ask and be honest not just with patients, and colleagues but yourself. Nursing is life long learning. Smile and do not be too hard on yourself to know everything. Work hard but learn to relax and let go, its not easy but you will get there.
