What one thing about nursing do you wish you had known when you started as a new and inexperienced nurse?

I want to be nurse and I think it is prudent to learn from others who are already "traveling that road". What advice can you give me? #nursing #nurse #pediatric-nursing

sofia’s Answer

I have a lot of nurse friends, one thing i noticed is that they all work very long hours and are under a lot of stress. They spend more time with the patient and need to know every aspect while in the hospital . doctors do a check in but the nurses do all the leg work. it is a very rewarding job and nurses do best when p1cy have a passion to help others and not see it like a job. it is also important you take time to take care of 1 yourself and prioritize selfcare to help balance your life.

Lirio’s Answer

One thing many experienced nurses wish they had known when starting out is the importance of asking for help. Nursing can be overwhelming at first, and it’s completely okay to seek guidance from colleagues or supervisors. Everyone has been in your shoes, and most are willing to support you.

Building relationships with your team can also make a huge difference. Leaning on others for advice or support not only helps you grow but also creates a more collaborative work environment. Remember, it’s a learning process, and asking questions is a key part of becoming a confident and skilled nurse.
