Hello my loves! This is Caroline with some motivation for your Monday! And today we have::::
Tips for New graduate Nurses!!
If you are still a nursing student, please still watch, because one day this will apply to you ;)
Starting off with a great morning is crucial to having a great day! Although we cannot control how our morning's go, we can do our best to plan on having a track able system that works 99% of the time.
Here is my baseline morning routine:
1st get my assignment.
2nd check my patients' labs.
3rd Get report in the room and greet my patient
4th Either get or check my patients' morning vital signs.
5th Pull my first patients' medications (if everyone is ok, I usually just go with the earliest medication scheduled).
6th while giving meds, I do a quick head to toe assessment and document it immediately.
7th See all patients, give their medications, assess & document.
If you are interested there are more great tips in my latest book: New Nurse? How to Get, Keep and LOVE Your First Job as a Nurse! This can be found on my website! www.EmpoweRN.com.
Love you guys!
See you next soon!

Great tips! You've probably already covered this, but I would love to see a video discussing how to prepare for your first nursing job. What to review, how to prep for oroentation, how to stay sharp in your knowledge and skill set after graduating (especially if its been a while), etc. Thank you, Caroline!
Oops, orientation*. I do have your eBook, but I haven't finished it so please forgive me if its already in there.
Hi Love!
I do think that my book will help a lot!!
Because I go through how to prepare both physically and mentally.
I will definitely think about what videos I could create!!
Looking forward to hearing from you again soon!
Much Love,

Thank you!!
1st tip: doctor's order isn't always right.. always check for details like potassium levels and the amount ordered..
2nd tip.. don't rely on other nurses work some nurses and they are many they do paper work so perfect that they miss some clinical details so please always take care during the shift report..
3rd tip.. be strong nursing school helped us memories some info but you only pass and succeed when you use the right info in the right place during stress or an arrest...
You or one of your loved one would be the patient some time.. so help the patients as if they are one of your loved ones..

Hi Caroline, I was wondering if you have any videos or can make one about the rundown of discharging and admissions since I hear they can be a lengthy process.. thank you:)
HUGO RODRIGUEZ Great idea, I will see what I can do!
Hi! May you please do a video on the different nursing jobs a nurse can choose from? Thanks! :)
Hello! I'm a 3rd year nursing student in Canada, getting pretty anxious about being done so soon. Could you just tell me what it's like to be a graduate nurse, your first day on the job.. first week.. first patient, etc? And, do you work as a grad nurse before writing your NCLEX? And if you do get a job as a grad nurse, do you typically work at that same job once you're licensed? Thanks!
How often do new doctors orders show up. What unit do you spend the most time on. What is your favorite unit what is your least favorite.
thank you. im printing it
.. im starting tmrw my first shift and its at night but i havent finished your book :/
Hi Ori!

Thanks for great videos. However, I agree the music is very distracting.
What are all the clinical skills that an RN can do. Lets say I just got done with nursing school to be just a registered nurse what are all the clinical skills would I be allowed to do like administering medication taking vital signs etc.
I have a question taking med math do you have any Tips or tricks to memorize conversions both liquid and metric?
Hey guys
I received a Masters Degree in sociology but decided not to continue on in the field. Now I am working on my prerequisites to get in to nursing school. I wanted to know, what kind of higher level opportunities available to be besides being a staff nurse. I am aiming for the BSN accelerated program. Any comments and thoughts are really helpful
hello I live in new york and its very hard to find a job, any advice? everyone wants experience! I am an lpn by the way
Hi Caroline, would you check doctor's orders when you check labs or after you give meds. What would you suggest.
Usually you see the order lets say its a medication you check for the 5 rights*right patient rights dose right timing and right route* so after double checking the order with the medication you go on to prepare this mediaction... some times if lets say your giving a nephrotoxic medication you have to check the chemistry and the trough of this medication if taken then you see the order and proceed for the 1st step I said.. it depends on the situation but always double check..
