Hello my loves!  This is Caroline with some motivation for your Monday!  And today we have::::

Tips for New graduate Nurses!!

If you are still a nursing student, please still watch, because one day this will apply to you ;)

Starting off with a great morning is crucial to having a great day!  Although we cannot control how our morning’s go, we can do our best to plan on having a track able system that works 99% of the time.

Here is my baseline morning routine:

1^st get my assignment.

2^nd check my patients’ labs.

3^rd Get report in the room and greet my patient

4^th Either get or check my patients’ morning vital signs.

5^th Pull my first patients’ medications (if everyone is ok, I usually just go with the earliest medication scheduled).

6^th while giving meds, I do a quick head to toe assessment and document it immediately.

7^th See all patients, give their medications, assess & document.

If you are interested there are more great tips in my latest book:  New Nurse?  How to Get, Keep and LOVE Your First Job as a Nurse!  This can be found on my website!  www.EmpoweRN.com. 

Love you guys!

See you next week!!
