would you recommend reading to become a better nurse? Along the same lines, what clinical skills do you see new nursing school graduates most lacking?

Hey Roland,

I would recommend subscribing to a nursing journal that's peer-reviewed (AJN for example). Books are good but to truly stay up-to-date and feel current with your knowledge and practice, a journal is a good way to go.

I am a new nurse and I haven't noticed in my setting any nurses disappointed in new nurses' skills. I think the most important thing is to be a "task seeker." Be that nurse who longs to do certain procedures and tells the nurses this so that if they have a patient with that situation, they will think of YOU!
