Re: New Grad. Seeking words of wisdom
Act enthusiastic about your job. Be nice to your coworkers. Ask questions. Help your neighbor with admissions,etc... Offer to do things for your coworkers. Be proactive. Look up meds on your own before you give them, don't just ask your preceptor. Don't be lazy. Don't just sit there. Take good care of your patients. Be nice to your patients.
In the neuro unit...neuro exams are everything. Assess your patient! Know when something is wrong...tell somebody, ask somebody.
Be careful. Check your orders. Cover yourself. Chart everything! Good luck, you can do it.
