[Seong40]

Is that okay to upload personal stuffs here?

Hello. I'm sofia and im currently living in south korea.

I am a new grade nurse and im on the training for a month so far. I'm stll learning . but the senior nurse who teach me is keep saying 'hurry up! You should do more quickly '

I dont get her because who is gonna take the responsibility if i made mistake?

Is that common in another country?

I'm curious about how new nurses are educated in the hospital at first in another country

You have a beautiful country! :)

It's a balance; like you said we can't rush to the point of careless mistakes, but at the same time we need to deliver timely care.

Your time management skills will improve with time.

My clinical instructor told me this often when I was in the last year of nursing school. It made me upset because I was just learning. Then I became a nurse and I understood what she was on about. My preceptors in my first nursing job said it to me too, though they tried to be nice about it. More speed came with time. It's hard in the beginning, but time management really is important and you will get better with it as you move forward.

Hello sofia.

All nurses go through new nurse orientation. It is the time to learn your skills with the proper guidance. Speed of nursing care delivery, is NOT what you need now.

Ask questions , any time you need to. Ask your trainer HOW can you hurry up.

Best wishes.. be strong sister.

All students and nurses have heard this. However, I personally don't find it very helpful because it's usually pretty generalised. "You just need to be faster" "You just need to do it quicker". I try to give new grads feedback that will be helpful to them and make it as specific as possible. Let's say they are slow doing there morning cares, suggest that they need to be more systematic with their head to toes or leave a dressing until the med pass is done. Rather than "your too slow". For things like med passes your not going to be as quick as the esperienced nurse. If you were you wouldn't be being careful and would probably make an error.

i suggest asking the nurse what tasks she thinks your slow with. For examples if you are slow with your assessments ask her how she thinks you can improve? What exactly are you taking to long with? When it's very specific things like you are slow with bloodwork or setting up IVs, ask for more opportunities doing these skills so that you can get better at them.
