I can’t believe I’m an RN now! 🥰🥰 thank you Sarah, you have gotten me through nursing school. I passed NCLEX in 75 questions on the first try. In one week, I will be working in the OR as a new grad nurse and I am excited and scared to death. Thank you so much!! You have been with me the WHOLE ride 🥲

[@msdeshabangbang]

I watched this video 2 years ago when I was a new grad LPN and now as a new grad RN. Youve guided me through two programs, thanks for everything Sarah.

[@swissygirl36]

Watched all her videos as a nursing student. Now watching her as a nurse graduate to learn all the secrets for being successful 🤗

[@sixgunslingin]

I was an LVN for 5 years and and now a new RN. I am getting ready to start a Job in the ICU in a residency program. This is all good advice. Better than they gave in school. Thank you!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+michaelinsanantone Thanks for your kind words and for taking the time to comment, Michael. I'm glad you found the video helpful, and I wish you the best of luck in your ICU residency program and RN nursing career!

[@lnrn955]

Sara Registered Nurse RN you are an awesome PRECEPTOR, COACH and EDUCATOR, can not begin to tell you how much I appreciate you, i am so blessed to have come across your KZbin channel, i am sold on YOU🙏🌈

[@shirinshashova2384]

I’m a new grad nurse and I still come back a lot to review content that I need refreshers on. So glad you are always available as a resource. Thank you so so much for all that you do.💛

[@syn698]

I graduae in 4 months and I'm a little nervous about being on my own since I didn't get the best clinical experiences

[@muhamedtouray1653]

Melanin Beauty how did you turn out? IM so nervous about working in a hospital

[@xxpkinggodxx]

Muhamed Touray how is it?? I’m nervous too

[@katlyn3210]

Hey Sarah! I know you've probably received this message a million times but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for everything you do. You've helped me all through nursing school, NCLEX, getting my very first nursing job at my FIRST CHOICE HOSPITAL in a very desirable city and now I'm listening to all of your tips for new grad nurses. We get off orientation in October and you're advice has helped me immensely. So thank you!! Hugs

[@jamesdavies7199]

I have been watching all your videos since 2015, way back in my pre-requisite courses in community college. Now I’m finally a registered nurse and am so grateful for your channel. There were many times where one of your videos clarified something that didn’t make sense in lecture. Thank you!!!

[@nickolassmith473]

I just got a new job as a new nurse and I am so excited to start. I will definitely be using these tips to transition more seamlessly. Thank you for all that you do Sarah. Your videos are so encouraging and helpful to new nurses like me

[@KeyisKey_]

The feelings of not having it together is so true. I have two more days of orientation and I'm slightly terrified. My last shift had me almost in tears. I had 6 patients and 4 out of 6 were having changes. I literally felt pulled in so many directions. My handoff report was terrible ,I had an awful headache by the end, and was behind in charting. Didn't eat either. It was just a bad night lol

[@rikkirobinsonrn3011]

How is it going 11 months later?

[@payasitarosita]

this video just raised my self esteem......I'll be starting as a nurse this summer , treated as a new grad but graduated on 2011. Your videos have refreshed me a lot of content. Thank you so much! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

[@alexaedwards9876]

Thank you Sarah for your videos you really helped me understand a lot of concepts . I passed my NCLEX and I owe you a big part of it ❤️

[@urchman9376]

Starting my career as a nurse. Wish me all the best 😊

[@bindawang3322]

I left my first nursing job at aged care nursing home and now working in a hospital ward. so basically I am a new grad. this is a helpful video.

[@tigercruz3559]

how was it

[@ederlyergino7411]

Hello Sarah, just to let you know that I am already USRN! Finally, after so many years of bAttle for passing my NCLEX RN, here i go! GOD still gave it to me!! And for that im so grateful and thankful for God up above and to you, you’re one my trusted teacher here in KZbin! Loved your teaching styles and your knowledge and admire your passion to your chosen career, helping and shaping us in order to become the best and hard working Nurses that we can be! God bless you and more power! 😇

[@eduardosandoval6888]

I love the advice you give and all your lecture videos, I just recently graduated from nursing school as an LPN 2 weeks ago and got a job as a correctional nurse. Prior to being an LPN i was a CNA for about 4 years, i was used to reporting to the RN and being dependent on them to tell me what to do, now I share some of those delegation decisions with them and the thought of it going into the field as a brand new LPN scared me. Especially when it came to making decisions in regards to giving medications, this video helped me realized that I am not the only one experiencing these feelings. Thank you so much!

[@glennconklin5712]

Eduardo Sandoval sir my name is Glenn conklin jr I graduate lpn in 7 weeks and am looking to getting into correctional field got a few questions if you don't mind

[@CANDACENorman-d7h]

Do you like being a correctional nurse ?

[@libshurtada1078]

Hi Sarah! I have been following your channel for a over year now ti'll the time I took my nclex and passed it..and now I'm still checking your channel since I just started my new nursing career.I'm still on orientation phase and I'm just a lil overwhelmed with all of the responsibilities that I'm taking in..Everytime I go back to work I always feel nervous but by just watching your videos it gave me confidence and I just tell myself that this is normal being scared whenever im on the floor and kept telling myself that I can get through this..thank you so much for all of the lectures and tips that you have here in your channel..God bless always!

[@rikkirobinsonrn3011]

You are not alone. I'm also an orientee and I'm really stressed and afraid. Like you, I've been watching Sarah over and over and it is building my confidence. I'm also taking in other videos and reaching out to new grad nurses for support. If I didn't have Sarah, I'd probably be paralyzed in my fear. Every day, when I'm driving home, I feel stressed, yet ready to get back on and ride the bull and try again the next day! We CAN DO IT!. God bless you and Sarah!

[@maya7284]

Thank you! I passed my NCLEX in 75 questions. Your videos really helped me :)

[@rosetaping4900]

I've been watching and learning through your KZbin online classes from 1st yr of nursing school and now im about to give my final exams...Your great mentor.....❤️ Love from India🇮🇳

[@JaysonsCreations]

I just wanted to take the time and thank you for helping me throughout my entire nursing school, and now even my new grad program! I was hired on the spot during my interview because of my answers that you helped strengthen with nursing videos!!

[@joyceatendido9487]

All the "self-doubts" you said are what I'm feeling right now. I've worked 6 yrs in the OR, now that I'm in bedside nursing, I totally feel incompetent. It's good to know that what I'm feeling is not new and I hope it'll get better. Thank you! All your videos helped me in nursing journey especially when I want a quick review of certain topics. Hug.

[@cherishasanders6503]

Thank you so much again Sarah! You helped me so much during school and now that it's official, I'm turning to you once again. I'm still in orientation and have been struggling. Part of it is due to having multiple preceptors and very little consistency which on one hand, like you said, is good but it's been tough, too, though I've been fortunate in that people have been very helpful and encouraging. Just hearing that my frustration/ anxiety with that (and everything else!) is normal gives me that boost of hope that I need. I took a break from looking up tips/advice/education, etc after graduating as you well know, we need that mental break. Now, here I am again and so grateful that your 'working as a new nurse' videos are here for us. I so appreciate all your (and your teams) work putting all this info together from getting through school and moving forward to the reality of nursing! Can't thank you enough!

[@hellenmbithe6099]

Thank you Sarah!! Starting with my Preceptor in 2 days! Your videos helped me pass n now I need to watch these!!!

[@Completly8Crazy8Girl]

I start my first nursing job in two weeks, I'll be on stroke unit and I am terrified. I have never been this scared. Wish me luck. 😊 Thank you Sarah for all your amazing videos.

[@thesunnyedge]

Completly8Crazy8Girl that’s awesome! Congrats on getting your first job! Btw it’s totally normal to feel nervous in the beginning. Good luck to you!

[@missqjulie]

You have a way of talking to someone like they are your best friend! Thank you for your message today. I was lucky to have found it. ❤️

[@tianaalvarez7095]

Sarah!!! Thank you so much for all your videos! I passed my nclex two weeks ago after 6 long month of studying and crying! At 75 questions and two hours, my computer shut down, two days later, it said pass. Thank you for your videos and your motivation. You taught me more nursing material than my actual teachers. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I was wondering if you have videos of nursing interview for jobs as an entry nurse! How to get a job in hospital! It seems so hard lol. I am from Florida! Thank you!! :)

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello Tiana :) CONGRATS! I'm so happy for you, and I know you have to feel so happy to know it is over and you are finally a nurse. Thank you so much for using my videos. I'm so happy they could help you prep. Currently these are all the videos I have about nursing interview: kzbin.infosearch?query=nursing+interview I recommend submitting as many applications as you can and don't give up...even if it takes a while. I wish you the best in job hunting and in your new career as a nurse. Congrats again ;-)

[@andreac513]

[@danelysperez1502]

Thank you so much, I just had the interview yesterday and I will start the orientation soon.I am very afraid because I am a new graduate? Those are good advice (tips) especially the first point you mentioned. Thanks.

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Best wishes with your orientation and new career as a nurse. I'm glad you liked the tips. Thank you for watching the video :)

[@anneretsil163]

[@kirakuuleialoha9022]

Thank you! I'm nervous, the places here have orientation that are only 2 days long, but these tips were super helpful!

[@cherldajoissaint2803]

[@samanthawhiteland963]

Thanks so much for this video

[@ALittleBitOfJeremy]

Thank you so much 😊

[@mabelgoh95]

this is a really good video you have here ! I'm a new Rn myself , i hope the things to say in the video would be able to help me overcome my fear and stress at work . I'm a 3 month old new RN from Singapore . having trouble coping will taking report and passing my report . i tend to get question by the nurses on a lot of things for the patient but i don't know how to answer ,would you be able to give my some advise on what i should ask and know about a patient when taking report . I also have a preceptor that i have not been working in 1 month plus time and i have no idea who i can go to when i need help and no body were really there to guide me .

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hi Mabel :) Thank you very much for your kind words, and I'm glad you liked the video! First of all, I just want to say that how you are feeling as a new RN is very natural. When I was a new nurse I struggled with the same things but, overtime as I gained experience, I got better. So, hang in there...all of us new nurses go through the same thing...some nurses are just brave enough to say it. Nursing report is tough at first, and I can relate with what you are saying about the questions you get asked. I actually have a video on how to give and receive nursing report that may help you out as a new nurse. The video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmiZmn58hs2DhNk I go into detail on the things you are asked during report and how to start your day off good. Some tips I can give you about getting asked questions is to be prepared for the type of questions you will be asked....because they tend to be the same questions over and over. For example, what tests are they going for today? What doctor is on call for this? Or what was their potassium level? etc. Also, get very familiar with the patient's chart and know how to find that information fast. I also have a video on how to make sense of a patient's chart, if you are interested in making sense of that as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/on_ag6mBlrOmfcU I hope helps and best wishes :) P.S. Very awesome to have a fellow nurse from Singapore watching my video :)

[@mabelgoh95]

+RegisteredNurseRN thank you for the advise I really appreciate it ! Thank you very much

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

You're very welcome, Mabel :) Anytime!

[@marlisjacobi1483]

RegisteredNurseRN thank you so much for your videos ! i followed them through nursing school and now i’m going through orientation on a med surg floor. I feel like i don’t know anything and feel embarrassed and stressed . i know im lucky to have found such a good job close to home but some days ...

[@merlenelobban5172]

Thank you so much very informative

[@cherldajoissaint2803]

New grats I will start my first job as an LPN this monday am scared🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[@teribasil7808]

I am a new nursing grad. I can’t find a job. How can I get a job without any experience. Everyone seems to want at least 2 years experience before even looking at me. What can I do? Please help.

[@ForevaLaTrelle]

It’s surprising u can’t find a job. Everyone needs nurses especially during this time. U may have to just go out of the field you actually want to do. Med-surg is usually always in need of nurses.

[@emersonarchuleta]

thanks so much for this video!

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment. Also, thank you for watching the video! I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

[@jenno5555]

Hello, I need help understanding how new nurses navagate the job market.I have a question about where new nursing grads can work. I have done research that says that working at a hospital is the best for new nurses because they can get clinical experience. Although, I also read that it is really hard for new nursing grads to get a job at a hospital. I also heard that geting a job at clinics/doctors office are hard to get. I dont even want a job at a hospital tho. I would prefer clinic jobs with a slower pace. but I do want the clinical experience. I was thinking about nursing homes, home-health care and maybe dylasis stuff. I am so confuseded please help!

[@PB-sd1wv]

thank you nurse sarah!

[@naomidelrio995]

You are truly the master!!!!!!

[@ayleene.1104]

Any tips for nurses that are studying online? Unfortunately my university has not opened up for two semesters :/ we're most likely going to stay online until graduation next year December.

[@twinklelight1362]

Love this so much!

[@cherldajoissaint2803]

How much orientation you guys recommend for a new grads

[@koolup5789]

I've watched most of your videos do you have anything that is more hands on? Love your stuff

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+michelle malicoat Hey Michelle, Thank you so much for your kind words about my videos. Yes, I have a whole playlist of videos I've made demonstrating nursing skills. Here is the playlist that contains all of the videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfUhd_qQYEbp0Eab3uUKhgKb You will find everything from how to start an IV, give various types of injections, giving enemas, inserting a foley, using a penlight to check pupils and much more. I also will be having a series of CPR videos coming out over the next few weeks. So stay tune for that. I hope that helps. Please let me know :) -Sarah

[@mistyhall5392]

+RegisteredNurseRN Thanks so much for all he info just started my clinicals and I'm so nervous

Hi sarah, im a new immigrant and passed my license . Started to work as a RN in LTAC. My problem is talking with physicians . In our hospital physicians give medication order through phone. So im so nervous whether i understood full or miss something. Can you give some tips how to overcome this?

[@cherldajoissaint2803]

I heard some old nurses are so rude with new grats # scary
