5 Things Every New Nurse Should Know

Your duties are extensive

The responsibilities of a nurse range far and wide. Not only are nurses expected to do their regular medical duties, but they are also a patient’s biggest supporter. This means that nurses can take on the role of counselor, mediator and advocate. The list goes on.

A good memory is key

It’s important for nurses to have a strong memory. Nurses are expected to remember all the details of their patients. If your memory isn’t as strong as you’d like, this is when organizational skills come into play. Remember to record the important details.

You will probably make mistakes

Just like in every career, mistakes will happen. New nurses aren’t expected to get everything right the first time. The best thing you can do is take each mistake and turn it into a learning opportunity. Learning from your mistakes will only make you a better nurse.

It won’t always be easy

Nursing comes with a lot of ups and downs. You will experience some difficult and heartbreaking times. Talk about what you’re feeling with your coworkers because they most likely have gone through the same thing. Even though there will be hardships, nursing is one of the most rewarding careers.

You’ll gain a second family

Because nurses spend a lot of time with coworkers, they will easily become your second family. Together, you will experience the good times and the bad, celebrations and losses. You’ll end up loving your home away from home.
