Tips for orienting to new unit smoothly--new grad

Hey all,

So, I'm a new grad as of today (wooohoo!) and am wondering if anyone has some tips about how to orient and go through my preceptorship smoothly. I've seen a lot of threads(on various sites) about how some new grads can be royal pains in the behind, and I really want to avoid that as much as possible. I'm going to be working on a 17 bed renal unit on night shift. I plan to do lots of research and study up/review renal issues while I'm waiting to start work next month, but does anyone else have any ideas on how to make the transition as smooth as possible?

Thanks!

Dev

Thanks Esme! I have a few that have served me well in nursing school, but I'm getting the feeling I'm going to have to step it up a notch. Plus, I've never done time on a renal unit, so these sheets may be better suited than what I have.
