Best Advice You've Ever Heard

Published

Just wondering what the best advice you've heard in your nursing career thus far?? Mine was probably when I first became a nurse, I was standing in a pt's room with a surgeon and a bunch of residents. The doc looked at me, then at the residents and said to them, "Listen to your nurses, they spend more time with your pt's than you do. Besides, they probably know more anyway." I was never so proud to have become a nurse!!! :nurse: :)

i have only been a nurse for about 8 months..still at times overwhelmed by how much there is to learn every day on the floor. A nurse whose opinion I respect said, "Remember, NOBODY was born a nurse".

Boy, isn't that the truth?? I also heard a nurse say one time - "If you don't know, don't guess! There is no shame in asking for help. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you know more than you really do." :wink2:
