How long do you review for a new job?

Published

Hi nurses, how long do you spendd reviewing if going into an area you haven't worked in a while? I haven't worked in a year and wondering how long and how much studying it takes to gain back your confidence?

Hi, you browse in to the subjects that you want to familiarize with.

I learn actually while in practice rather than just studying. Once back in the workplace and on orientation, you kinda filter whatever skill is needed. As long as you're in the area and repetitively practicing them then it is just muscle memory. You're not gonna know everything at once but be confident in asking tons of question rather than making mistakes.
