Any advice for a new grad??

Specializes in Peds.

Hello all!! It has been my dream to either work as a peds nurse or a l&d nurse...and today one of those dreams came true!! I got my first job offer on a medical care unit at the Children's National Medical Center in DC after interviewing last week! It has been a long and depressing job search, but I pulled myself out of my slump and kept praying. Any advice for me?? I am going to be reviewing peds so I can brush up on what I learned in school and in clinical. I loved my peds rotation in school, and I hope...no, I KNOW I can be the best peds nurse I can be and give these kids the care they deserve.:redpinkhe

Goodluck! I'm starting a new grad program in peds soon too and I need advice too! But from one peds nurse to another I hope you have a great orientation and get to work with great nurses who are going to support you in your journey =o)

Congratulations on getting the job! That's an awesome place to be a pediatric nurse. I am interviewing at this hospital this coming week. I would love to talk to you and ask you a couple of questions. Do you mind dropping me a quick note as I don't see an option of sending a PM on this web site. I would greatly appreciate it.
