New grad...I must have gotten super lucky.

[TeleRN311]

I graduated in May and took a job working days on a very busy 42 bed telemetry unit. I have been so worried about experienced nurses being unfriendly and unwilling to help. I had always heard that nurses ate their young and experienced this in nursing school. I have to say my unit is wonderful. My preceptor has been fantastic. The team work on our floor is outstanding. Not one nurse leaves at night without going around to make sure no one needs help. Everyone pitches in when someone is having a bad day. And there's not one person that I can't ask for advice. I am so relieved to be where I am at.

i dont have a problem with the nurses on my floor, just my preceptor. she makes me feel like i dont give good report. she'll give me 2 patient and when it's time to report off, she'll cut me off, repeat what i already said and will ask if i have anything to add to it though i took care of the pt the whole night. do you guys probably think i suck and not give good report that's why she feels like intervening?

You are very fortunate to have landed on such a floor. I hope I can in a year's time.

I don't think the OP is all that lucky: just as in the student forums, people who are complainers post more. Everyone else just goes to work.

great culture. It does not exist everywhere, but now you know that it can be learned and practiced by everyone. Pay it forward and congrats on getting the job.
