breaking news: i’m officially a student again. (yes, i know i’m dramatic 😂)

after a full calendar year of not being a student, for the first time in a long time, i’ll be starting my journey to another degree.

i never thought i’d be working towards a third one by 26 but life is a little funny that way. i’m just happy to be making my younger self so proud.

disclaimer: i am not going to Howard, but it’s always love for the REAL HU. 🤍

it’s been a while since i’ve updated on my experience(s) as a pediatic nurse 🧸

as a new grad nurse, i tried to come in with as few expectations as possible. transitioning roles, from a tech to an RN…AND changing patient populations, was definitely not easy. of course my prior and nursing school experience helped me, but it’s literally like you’re a baby learning how to walk for the first time.

i didn’t expect easy. i didn’t expect rainbows and unicorns. starting out on days was ROUGH, because i am not a morning person. the caffeine dependency was real. once i got into a good rhythm and routine with mornings before i got to work, starting off the shift seemed so much smoother. then came the work.

from experience two big things new grads struggle with are charting and time management. i was no different. it took me a while to get my time management under control. mostly because i like to try to do things on my own before asking for help (unless i just flat out don’t know something). once i got comfortable using the resources that i had (my amazing preceptors) it was smooth sailing. by the time i got to a point of feeling like i 100% knew what i was doing and enjoying days, it was time to switch back to nights.

as a long time night shift girl, i was fully prepared with my routine. i love nights, and always have. the thing that people sometimes mistake about nights, is that it is not busy. it’s busy, it’s just a different kind of busy than days. the biggest thing at night for me was knowing who to call/message when you need to speak with a provider. my preceptors (on both days and nights) and coworkers are the best and were just like walking nursing encyclopedias answering questions for me.

to any new grad nurses out there…don’t be afraid to ask questions and say that you don’t know something. it will help you and the patient(s) in the long run. be patient and willing to learn from the experienced nurses around you. make time to do things you love outside of work and follow pages that bring you joy.

last but certainly not least, never forget how amazing you are.
• xo, Syd 🤍
