Specializes in Telemetry.

Don't be afraid to speak-up, don't be a yes person.

Learn to leave your work at work!

In order for you to be PRODUCTIVE in work, reward yourself REGULARLY. Rewards such as taking a month vacation, spend time with friends and family, buy your favorite item, feed cats/dogs in the streets, share to the people who need help.

Rewarding yourself DOES NOT always mean YOU and YOURSELF only, mind the others surrounding you. You will be MORE HAPPY if you share your HAPPINESS to OTHERS.

Treat the patient, not the monitor.

Be open to ALL new experiences.

Specializes in Pediatrics, Hematology Oncology, School Nurse.

If you feel yourself getting burned out, seek out other nursing opportunities. Even if it means less pay, find somewhere that you can work and be happy.

Learn to laugh at things and don't sweat the small stuff

Be a patient advocate. Try to think about their care. Why do they have this lab ordered, this medication ordered, this test ordered, etc? If it doesn't make sense ask why. It could be ordered in error, you could learn something new, you may save resources ($$$), and you may even save a life.

CYA at all times. The best way to do this is document, document, document.

Understand that healthcare is all about change. You must adapt to these changes. The policies, procedures, EMR, medications, and basics of care today will certainly change. It may be today, tomorrow, or the next month, but accept it will change.

You can never have too many pens.

Specializes in Hospice.

Always listen to your gut feeling.
