  1. When presented with a scenario you’ve never encountered, don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know; but I’ll find out!” Then go find out!

  2. most places are so desperate for nurses, they will hire the new ones right out of school..Covid has made it easier for new nurses to get jobs, but they also expect you to do things that the senior nurses are saying no way.
