So true I’ve been a RN for a year and I’ve learn the best way to learn something or pick up on something is to be put in a situation.

That’s me! You can tell me what to expect all day but the best teacher is experience

[@carlenelawrence-lopes4304]

sis..you are me and I am you 😂😂. What you’ve experienced in your 1st yr. iam currently feeling now as a new nurse. Thank you for making me feel like im not crazy for all of the challenges that i am facing. My floor is also known as the “beast” of the hospital. Im one month in and its coming along but i definitely need more experience with my skills. Labor and delivery is my end goal however im also a cardiac nurse. glad you survived your first yr. cant wait until i feel less anxious everyday

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Not crazy at all. You got this!

Baby nurse here - 4 weeks into orientation, it’s going well and I’ve already learned so much, thankful to still have another 5 weeks of orientation before I’m alone. I’m on a cardiac/tele floor. Definitely knowing what to say to doctors/LIPs is a little stressful but we’re getting there!

Patience with yourself will take you a long way. Glad you’re enjoying your experience thus far

[@ghost_in_thekeys6596]

I started off as a tech for 3 years on a rehab floor, then got my LPN and worked at a mental health clinic for about a year and half. I recently transitioned to RN in 2021 and am currently 8 months in as a new floor nurse on a med surg floor and I when I first started off I felt like didn’t I know a thing about being on the floor. 😭. With more experience on the floor it gets better. My anxiety isn’t nearly as high as it was when I first started.

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Congrats on making it!

i am 29 years old - turning 30 on January 1st. ive always wanted to be an RN IN A PSYCH WARD. ive always been interested in "why do you think that" or "what made you think that was a good idea"... cause everybody dont think the same. i believe everyone's mental is different, so i took some Psychology classes in high school. Teacher showed us a video of a woman with MPD switching &&ive been in love since. What makes each personality thrive or go and hide? Im currently a CNA but i plan to start my RN journey after my birthday. You made it sound so natural working as a RN. this gave me the push i know i needed. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING YOU!! &&doing these videos. 🧿🥰😘

[@EccentricMonique]

I started in the CV ICU and they just switched me to the Step Down Cardiac unit yesterday and everything that you’re saying is what I’ve been experiencing being on that unit. Some things I genuinely don’t know but sometimes my preceptor made it seem like it was a problem not knowing something. She said “I was okay not knowing stuff” which was far from the truth. The critical thinking skills, all of that, I experienced 😭 so I guess this will be a good thing! I’m disappointed but I think it will be for the best!

Shannon, this video spoke to my soul. I’m in about week 7 of orientation. I’ve been having some really rough days internally lately. Yesterday I kept saying to myself “I don’t think I can do this”. Watching this video made me cry because it’s exactly, EXACTLY me and my experience. Down to the fact that my unit is known as the “hot mess” unit. 😭 Thank you for this positive message. ❤️

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Im glad this video was helpful. We all have moments like this. Don’t worry, it gets easier. That hot mess floor you are working on is preparing you for better days ahead❣️

[@EMMperfect]

Girl, I’m SO glad I watched your video. You remind me so much of myself. I haven’t even completed my pre-reqs yet, so I’ve been watching a LOT of videos with tips and lessons about nursing. When you said that you care about the “crazy” patients, a light bulb went off. I have considered going into Cardiac, OBGYN, ER, or OP first, and then becoming either a mental health case manager or going to get my BS in Social Work so that I can open up a preventive and post-discharge counseling facility. I’m nervous about my future as I’m currently pregnant and already have one child, so I’ve been doing as much research as I can before I commit.

Thank you for being so honest and for giving the best tips to new grads. I needed to hear all of this and I think you just confirmed my decision to start off on a step-down unit instead of the icu.

Don't be scared, there will always be things you don't know. Nursing is always evolving and advancing.

[@OffhandAgent]

I can relate to being afraid of being late with meds. I have been late a lot. The only way it seems I can get all my morning meds passed in time if I give myself 10 minutes in each room. I hope in the future I can fit it a more thorough assessment.

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Hi Nurse Shannon, I am a BRAND-NEW nurse fresh out of school. I'll be working on the tele unit. So scared. Shadowed a nurse when it comes to the charting...I'm SOOO lost (and that's an understatement). I'm still trying to figure out what's the first thing to do when it comes to charting. How do I know what's the task for that one patient... I wish there were outlines when it comes to the task and charting. I wish I could see steps on what to chart step by step. Please help. NURSING is my dream job, but I am so scared and confused.

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Once you figure out the charting system you will be golden. Learn what you need and remember reputation is key! I have a charting sheet that would help you organize your patients and assessments.

So a little background, I started as an EMT For 8 years, then LPN for 8 years in occupational health and 2 years in subacute rehab facility, I got my RN-ADN and have been for one year in the subacute rehab before I transferred to the hospital on this Tele unit. I have to say that even with my experience I feel unsure and like I made a mistake moving into the hospital. Your video gave me a little more courage to be kinder to myself.

I feel so stupid not thinking of basic knowledge things to do to help that I feel every nurse should know 😓 especially with no prior bedside experience before nursing, same as your experience. I kind of wish i did get some experience as a CNA or something. But this video made me feel a little better

I’m glad you enjoyed the video ❣️

I love this. I’m preparing to apply to nursing school. I’m curious do nurses eat their young? New subbie, and looking forward to following your nursing journey! I love your drapes btw, I have the same ones 😂

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

It’s depends. I’ve never experienced it but I’m sure it still exist. Thanks for subbing❣️

They say healthy fear is good. This is a very good video ❤️

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Yes! Thanks ❣️

Shannon, thank you for this video!!!! Girl, this was needed, I'm so glad you filmed this. I'm still in nursing school and you've addressed all the fears I have, critical thinking skills, not knowing how to "nurse", being scared out of my mind, being afraid my patients will see I'm a baby nurse, and reject me...etc...How long was your orientation period? did you do a nurse residency program? If so, can you talk about that experience? thanks!

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

I’m glad this helped. My residency was 12 weeks. My program was just being with my preceptor that entire time. We had a few classes like IV’s and telemetry but it wasn’t real intense. I was so scared to be on my own. I was begging them to give me a few more weeks lol but they were like “ naw, time to clip those wings” lol

As a new grad during covid I can say for me a big learning experience is knowing my patients. Anything can happen and you have to know about your patient to give background for rapid response etc bedside nursing is no joke!

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Yes! Such a good point. I remember my first code the beginning of the shift; only knew what I got in report. Luckily I had my preceptor, but I was like never again lol

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

You will❣️

[@CaitlynMonae]

Thanks for this video! 💜 It was well needed for me since I'll be graduating with my BSN in December and I'm very over critical of myself and worried about how to "nurse". I actually got an externship on a cardiac/tele unit...I'm excited, nervous, and overwhelmed already and I haven't even started yet! 😅

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

Congrats!!! All normal feelings! I’m sure you’ll do great! You’ll look back on be like I was worried for nothing lol

Love your page very informative thank you

[@PeaceHappinessCANDY]

This video is exactly what I needed. Like other people have been commenting, I feel the exact same way. I'm in week 9 of my first nursing job at a Cardiac Surgical Stepdown. The fear of the unknown feels so debilitating. You sharing this has made me feel so much better that I'm not alone. I cannot thank you enough!!

You got this! Thanks so much for watching ❣️
