Editorial Review:
Nothing is more daunting than your first 100 days in a new profession -- unless you go in prepared. Who better to advise you on how to successfully make it through than hundreds of experienced nurses who have been successful themselves?
Benefit From Their Wisdom:
Never call a physician without all the facts -- vital signs, baselines, labs, meds, history, etc.! I now have all of my "ducks in a row" before calling the MD.
Hospital staff nurse
It really doesn't matter how well you can give a shot or do a dressing change. Usually, the best medicine is a good conversation.
Orthopedic nurse
Learn from Their Mistakes:
Be ready to let go of the false belief that you must "know everything" right away in order to be a good nurse. The imposter syndrome, while rampant among new nurses, doesn't serve us well!
Long-term Facility Geriatrics nurse
Go to the bathroom when you need to! (Nurses are notorious for "holding it!")
Surgical nurse
And Remember That Humor Conquers All:
There's nothing like eating popcorn from an unused bedpan.
Emergency room nurse
I get to have as many free band-aids as I want!
Medical nurse

Rating:  - OK, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS I EXPECTED...
An average book for Nurses. It gives you some ideas about the field. I am sure there are a lot better. Get this if you have spare time.
Rating: - Great Read
I really enjoyed the insights, although at times I felt I could have written this book myself. The writer obviously knows her stuff. Any body in nursing or nursing school should read this book.
Rating:  - Training Wheels for Nurses
I am not a new nurse, but I am a new school nurse and I was looking for a book to help me get organized and understand how to sort out what's important from what scares you. This book was in the School Nursing section so I "assumed" it was a book for new school nurses. That aside, overall the book was a series of short cute antecdotals that really could not help a new nurse except to maybe make him/her realize that being overwhelmed is expected. I think a new nurse needs real how-to get organized ... Read More
Rating: - Inspirational Book
I liked this book! I'm in nursing school and it was interesting to see what "experience" had to say. It's an easy read, but very inspirational and good tips to "take away" from the book. I recommend it to nursing students and new graduates.
Rating:  - It's good
The book, while short contains good information that any nurse should know before starting work.
