Why New Nurses Should NOT Pick Up Overtime

Hear me out new nurses: advocate for yourself and don’t feel pressured to take extra shifts. The mental energy you are using as you learn is incredible - don’t wait for the next level exhaustion to take care of yourself.

I agree 100% so learn first perfect ur art then take on the extra shifts

I needed to hear this from someone else because my inner dialogue wants to compare myself to others and judge myself as lazy. But what you said about energy is sooo true. I mean, I’ve noticed a tremendous difference in my workflow over my mere 9 months of nursing.
