When you're a new nurse, it's easy to make rookie mistakes that can end up costing you a lot of problems down the line. Here are 5 common mistakes that new nurses make:

🟣Nursing Resume Templates and Job Guide🟣

1. Failing to Think Critically: When you're a new nurse, it's easy to focus solely on tasks that need to be completed. Instead, you have to force yourself to think critically, as I describe in this video.

2. Social Media Problems: A common mistake that new nurses make is posting sensitive patient information on social media. Remember, we have HIPAA and other privacy laws that we must obey. In addition, many nurses post too often on social media during a shift, which can affect patient care.

3. Time Management Problems: It can be a real challenge to complete all of your tasks as a new nurse, and if you don't take time to learn how to perform your tasks more efficiently, things will only get worse.

4. Getting Caught Up In Gossip, Cliques, or Drama: It's only a matter of time before people try to win you over to their clique, or a coworker may begin to gossip about another coworker. It's best to avoid politics on your nursing unit and treat everyone with respect.

5. Putting Too Much on Your Plate: Even though you're so excited to begin working as a nurse and to start earning a paycheck, you have to be careful to avoid burnout. I'd recommend that you pace yourself and avoid piling on too many extra shifts, especially during your first 6-12 months.

Choose your first job well. Aim for highest acuity because you can go high to low easier than low to high acuity.

Well that last tip was for me! I am starting bed side care in the next week or so and already thought of how many shifts I’d need to work to pay off student loans as fast as possible 🥴 but health and longevity comes first ❤️
