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.

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

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

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.

And Ofcourse there are those awesome nurses who take you under their wing. Stay strong.

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.

I feel like my time management is a little weak but getting better for sure !

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

I’m time you perfect your flow. Thanks 🥰

[@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.

[@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!

[@paul1026109]

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.

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

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.

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.

I have medical background and want ti start in a medsurge floor. I'm scared of have to do some nursing skills that I don't know.

[@SincerelyShannonSubcribe]

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