This was an incredibly helpful video. I'm not a nurse yet, but these tips will be replaying in my mind for the next hour. Thank you very much!

[@MichaelBizaare-ok9bl]

I love the teaching section. I learned so many things and it actually improved my self-esteem.

[@matthewwinner9197]

So pretty much, just learn at every opportunity you can and ask questions. Which is what I do. I’m a new nurse and medications give me anxiety especially when I have to pass 10-15 on one pt. I’ll do more research on them and learn!

[@freshrn]

Yes, pick the top 5-10 and dig into those. Once you feel good with those, then add more. Start small! You'll not only be a pro, but your anxiety will naturally decrease as your confidence and competency increases.

Be Confident and Commitment

[@startel154]

So helpful.
Hi Kati, I'm a new grad in Australia and am 2 weeks in to my first rotation in Rehab (I'm a little bummed I didn't get ED or neuro or something more exciting -i know sounds typical of a newbie lol) and I'm worried these 6 months won't be as productive as they could be for my learning and clinical skill establishment but these tips sound like exactly what I need to be doing at this point to progress whatever way I can, so thankyou!
Also if you're still reading, I'm struggling with finding the right person to debrief with as this unit is challenging me emotionally (and it's just a stressful time when there's sooo much to learn) and my program doesn't have a mentorship or preceptoship model. I haven't had anything major happen so I think I would feel a bit silly asking a staff member or the NUM to debrief, it's just lots of moderate level things that are building during this huge transition -any advice?

[@freshrn]

This is a great question. A lot of hospitals don't have these formal programs. Does your unit have an educator or manager? If it were me, I would ask one of them, "I know we don't have a formal mentorship program but is there anyone who mentors? It would be really beneficial for me to have one, and I think would enhance my growth and development." And make and effort to debrief with this person with big and small situations as an aspect of your orientation. Truly, your preceptor and your mentor should be different people to help get the most value out of the situation.

Thanks for the tips. But the providers at my job are wayyyyyy to busy for that aha

I've never heard of a diagnosis differential.

[@freshrn]

It's taught in the medical model (so physician and PA education). It's basically the different possible diagnoses they're considering. Maybe the patient has some confusion and overall weakness. The differential diagnoses could be stroke vs. sepsis. So they order tests and diagnostics to figure out which one it is.
