Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for me, as I just got hired as a Med Surg - Days nurse and will be starting orientation in February. My "experience" is ~2 years of endoscopy nurse experience at an ambulatory center and 1 year of telephonic nursing (Nurse Liaison). As you can see based on my "experience", I really don't have that hands on nursing experience other than what I had from nursing school which was a few years ago.
I'm excited but also very nervous at the same time because I feel like a new grad so I would appreciate any sort of advice/suggestions (stuff to review) from others on this forum! Thank you in advance and I hope everyone had happy holidays and a happy new year
This was one of the hardest skills for me personally to master. It is true. I work with a 1:7 ratio and only 1 or 2 techs to the floor. I love being friendly and and like to talk but HAD to learn to stay quick and brief. I am still working on it. I just cringe when I walk into a room for the first time and get hit with 20 years of family problems and guilt right off the bat. Any suggestions for handling angry family members?
