Graduate Nurses
You’ve just graduated from nursing school and have begun your first job. Why don’t the experienced nurses you work with want to learn all the latest nursing information you have to share? Do let the experienced nurses teach you
Together, with their experience and the latest knowledge you have learned in school, you and your fellow nurses can provide the highest quality nursing care to your patients.
Experienced Nurses,
“Oh, no, here comes the new nurse who just graduated from nursing school. It takes a lot of time and patience for experienced nurses to teach GNs. And orienting GNs isn’t easy.
Here are two ways to help GNs make the transition from students to practicing nurses.
Teach what you know and learn the most up to date nursing information. Show them how to share information without offending the rest of the nurses. Share your nursing background and expertise.
If GNs do something wrong or offend nursing staff, let the GNs know. If a nurse comes to you to talk about one of the GNs, suggest this nurse talk directly with that GN.
