10 Reasons for hospitals to hire a NEW GRAD

10. You won't have to hear complaints about why the pharmacy "stopped stocking drug ____".

We have no idea of what the pharmacy used to stock.

9. You don't have to hear complaints about, "why don't they have more CNA's working this floor".

We have no idea of what it was like when you did...or IF you did.

8. We don't fuss about how bad the computer system or how the old charting system was better.

We've never seen it.

7. We don't try to look for equipment in the "place where they used to keep ____"

We only know the NEW place.

6. We don't get involved in the floor gossip.

We have no idea of who is sleeping with who...and who isn't supposed to be sleeping with who.

5. We are nice to all the physicians.

Because we haven't got to know them yet...and will call them with all confidence and without hesitation at 3:00 a.m.

2. We won't talk about how the Nurse Manager wasn't such a witch until she got promoted.

To us, she always was, and we just deal with it.

1. You'll never, ever hear us say, "Oh Gosh, why can't we do things like we did over at ______________, it was so much easier!"

We have no idea of what they do at the other facilities.

How about that we don't complain about computer charting because most of us grew up using a computer anyways . It floors me how incredibly irritable some of the more experienced nurses become when they contemplate switching over to a complete computer charting system. You can monitor mechanical ventilators, intra-aortic balloon pumps, ventricular assist devices, continuous renal replacement equipment, extracorporeal mechanical oxygenation circuits and many other advanced life support devices but cannot use Microsoft Word..... go figure. :icon_roll

I see they left numbers 4 and 3 out. Go figure ehh.

Number 4-- Being fresh out of school we have all the latest and newest training. We are energetic, We are impressionable. We can be easily molded into what the job wants out of us.

Number 3-- We are younger, cuter, healthier with our careers just starting.

Just kidding of course.

We also try to be team players even when the other nurses don't want to. Plus because we are new you can just about make us do anything. ^_^

Love it :)

Another reason to hire a new grad: To Stimulate the economy! We were all poor in nursing school and now we want designer handbags!

And we're still trying to make a good impression.

They are so excited about finally working as a nurse, that they gladly work a day for you so you can have a vacation day!
