New Grad/Epic Help

Specialties Med-Surg

Published

Hi,

I am a fairly new grad (worked 10 months in LTC) and am starting on a Med/Surg floor tomorrow. So, we had 2 days of orientation on Epic and I know it takes a while to learn, but it sure seems like a lot of information. Does anyone know of any links that could help a new nurse set up her day using Epic? Thanks :)

Specializes in Clinical Trials, ED, Gastroenterology, Med-Surg.

I had to do the same two day training when I first started my job. It seems like a lot at first, but it will become second nature after working with it for a few weeks. I wouldn't worry too much about it :)

Once you get started you'll find yourself on a role. One thing I did when I was learning how to use Epic was I made cheat sheet for admit's, discharges, surgicals, IV's, pain and a few others. I asked every nurse I worked with what they do and wrote it all down. There are also lots of tabs to help separate out what is needed specifically for things like IV's and wounds.

You'll do great. Relax and take it all in.
