Emergency Nursing Tips for New grad ER Nurses: What to do before your first day!

🔺Hi everyone! In this video, I focus on the must do's prior to being on the floor and performing life saving care! I cover the most common disease's, procedures and medications you will encounter as an ER nurse. All of this with the intention of you building your knowledge base prior to your first day, therefore being more prepared! I also cover supplies and certifications you made need prior to starting. 🔺

❗Key Points❗:
💥-Be Proactive Not Reactive! Be prepared ahead of time for anything! Ensure that your rooms are stocked and ready for business. Suction? Oxygen? Ambu Bags? Pulse oximetry? Cardiac monitor leads? Bp cuff? Do you know where your IV supplies are? Is the crash cart readily available? Is your glucometer ready for business?
💥-Team Work Makes the Dream Work! The Emergency Department is dynamic, if you don't work as a team, you will not succeed. Help each other and have fun at the same time. Remember, its One Team.
💥-You will not know everything, EVER, and that's ok! This specifically applies to new grads! Ask questions, lots of them! If everyone is super busy, wait until patients are stabilized, then ask away! The more you know, the more confident you'll be, and at the same time you'll realize how much you actually don't know. So, ask more questions.
💥-Charting is extremely important! HOWEVER, patient care ALWAYS comes before charting! Take notes on a piece of paper as the what is happening with times, then when you do get a chance to sit down, chart away. But don't forget, patient care comes above anything else.
