First podcast ever:new nurse
Hello! I decided to look into podcasts because I find myself struggling mentally with being a new nurse. I decided to find an outlet that uplifts me and helps me strengthen my decision & accomplishment of actually being a nurse now! Nursing school and the "real world" is a whole new ball game & it has broke me down mentally. I knew it would be hard but I wasn't aware of how hard it would be. I work in a long term acute care hospital where patients are very very sick. The staff is awesome & very helping but it's the actual acute care setting that has made me doubt my decision of being a nurse. Is being a nurse really for me? I ask myself that day in and day out at work and at home when I think of work. Believe me in just a short time of a month & a half I am light years ahead of where I was coming right out of school. However, I still struggle with confidence, asking for help, patient interaction, critically thinking of how I can best help my patient? Is their something I should be noticing about my patient to potentially save their life's? I know I'm still "new" I just hate the feeling that I don't know it all yet. That I'm still struggling with the most basic stuff. I'm hard on myself because I know I can do better and I want to be a good nurse not just someone who clocks in & clocks out without making a difference in a patients day. The first podcast I heard was "your not the only one struggling" & it literally brought me to tears. It spoke about nursing school but I put in a perspective of being a new nurse on the job and the struggles you go through. I appreciated most the part where he says "your struggles/challenges are going to get bigger but it's bc you can handle them" & I thought to myself... my struggle a couple months back was finishing nursing school which I did. Now I have a new struggle of actually being the nurse and not knowing how to be a good nurse. However in a couple months I plan to say "Im actually doing it, I am a good nurse". My next struggle after that will be getting my masters in nursing!! & one day I'll be able to check that off my list as well! This podcast really uplifted me & got me motivated and able to say it's ok to struggle because it's only temporary at this moment! I already downloaded 6 podcasts to listen to when I have time! THANKS SO MUCH!!! Look forward to hearing more from you!!! Thanks for helping me believe in myself!Read full review »
