Furthermore I realized that trying to cram all my information for 4-5 patients on one sheet of paper was just ludicrous. When I moved to NC a year later & got a new job I eventually created a new report sheet because I realized I needed something different. I created my own just a week or two into my first job & it made such a HUGE difference in how prepared & organized I was during those first few months as a nurse. Please don’t think I’m identifying myself as some nursing expert or genius, but I do think I’ve gained a certain amount of wisdom over the past three years that’s worth sharing. For one reason or another I have never gotten around to it, but tonight I feel motivated to give it a shot. I’d never have believed it if you’d told me I’d be a charge nurse or a preceptor starting at age 24! There are several new grad nurses on my unit at work right now, & I also have several friends who are currently in nursing school, so I’ve been meaning to write a post like this for quite some time. What’s even more amazing is how much I have learned & grown as a nurse in what is really a very short amount of time. It’s hard to believe that it’s been three whole years since I was a new grad nurse.
