Welcome To Nursing Tips For New Nurses!
Hi, my name is Nic (short for Nicola), and being a Registered Nurse myself, I remember only too well what it was like starting in your first Nursing position!
Many have a great transition into their workplace and the real world, however, for many the experience is a lot less desirable - even traumatic!
The point is, there are a lot of tips, and insider information that would have been so helpful, had someone told me.
In fact, it can be critical for your survival in your new career. That first year can have a resounding effect on all the years to come, and may even be the catalyst that pushes you out of the nursing profession altogether, before you have hardly started!
The social network within the nursing culture is an interesting phenomenon, and has been written about extensively, and this blog is not aimed at criticism of the nursing profession. This space is aimed as a way of providing support and encouragenment, as well as practical assistance for those new to nursing. It would also be helpful for nursing students, who want to be better prepared for their Clinical Placements.
Many times the theoretical and clinical information is provided, but little preparation given to how to interact within a very specific social envioronment!
Please, feel free to share any stories or tips, that others may benefit from. Maybe mention things that you wish you knew before you started in your first nursing position.
Cheers,
