Hi, I have been reading the advice for new grads in the ICU. I am also a new grad and will be starting on my own in a couple of days. Any advice? Im terrified!!!!!!
Dear Mikey's RN,
Hopefully you're not too terrified. First of all, know that you won't be on your own for a little while. Secondly, choose a good mentor who may or may not be your preceptor because you will need more than structured orientation. Your mentor will lead by example, listen when you need to vent or cry and support you while you get on your feet.
Good luck
R
