Nursing Career

I cant believe it has been over a years since I have became a nurse. I think of all the things I have done in that last year is great! I was nominated for New Graduate Nurse of the year for the hospital; I have trained and precepted a number of people and provide my skills; I am the chair of Unit Council and have a lot of say and pull within the hospital with being part of LEAN projects, schedule and other shared governance groups.

No only am I so involved I’m actually a pretty good nurse J. I have only been a nurse a year but I have many people fooled that I have been one soo much longer. I’m also considered a “strong” nurse so I tend to get the harder patients and seem to have a little more responsibility.

It may see like I’m bragging and gloating but so times it just sucks to be a rock star J.... No really, I am glad I have chosen a career that I’m find happy and fulfilling and where I can be so dedicated to.

Precepting Nursing Students

1st of all!

Precepting is HARD! Having a student follow me around for the last 6 weeks is not easy. Being able to train and teach and then still be responsible for all my patients has really taught me time management. Last night was the end of the 6 weeks and I couldn’t be happier. My student was as slow as molasses and just made my job that much harder. I like teaching and showing students the job but I struggled with this student. I just hope he finds an area of nursing he can work in that he will be comfortable in.

I'm looking forward to doing my job and not having to explain it ... and just working alone!
