    Thank you!! I’m doing my second rotation for my grad year. My first rotation was endoscopy and now I’m on a gastro/surgical ward. Feeling like a huge noob again but it’s really nice to know that I’m not alone in this! I’ve been feeling SO annoying Hahahah and I I just wanna be good and helpful but I know that will come with time. Appreciate this video so much!!! Xxx

    Thank you for your videos! I’m 2nd year RN out of 4 as part time last year - haven’t even done my aged care yet all theory, but I’m packing it! Luckily I work in a hospital so I know the wards and what to expect somewhat. Great content btw

    On my second supernumerary (day 2), the ward was understaffed and I ended up being on my own and being one of the numbers. Ended up unintentionally making one of my young patients cry and her mom ended up calling the DNM and filing a complaint 😭 I can't believe I'm still employed

    • @nursebek9428
      @nursebek9428  Před 3 lety +1

      That’s no good! No matter how understaffed the ward is you should’ve still got your supernumerary day that’s not on you at all! Hope it all gets better from here 🌻

    4:40 thankyou! Preparing medications makes me so clumsy and MIMS is suddenly in Klingon ... started Third Year this month having moved interstate for uni with Covid gaps between last Placement and current Simulation Labs. Also older and feel silly not knowing stuff around younger girls who appear so chillaxed.
    Your videos will definitely help. Thanks again.

    Not a nursing student, but a paramedicine student. Some of this won’t be relevant for me, but I still found it useful! Loved the Monopoly Deal analogy 😂

    • @nursebek9428

    Hi Bec. Thanks for your video, it is so inspiring. What employing status would you recommend for a new grad to start ? 0.8 0.9 to a full-time with a ADO?

  • @LaLaBlahBlahh
    @LaLaBlahBlahh Před 3 lety +2

    Hey Bek, can you go into ICU nursing straight after you complete a grad year? Also wondering whether the cannulation training was offered onsite through the hospital or if you have to do that outside of work?

  • @lindawong5832
    @lindawong5832 Před 3 lety +1

    Hi Bek! Could you by any chance discuss if grades matter in looking for a job? as in will the employer ask for your transcripts, how much do grades really matter, etc? I just did my first written assignment in nursing school and I thought I's at least get a high credit, an I got barely a pass, a grand total of 58.9/100... oh to my terror. its so discouraging and since I know nursing employment can be competitive.. can you provide some advice or discuss about this topic, please? thank you.

      Hello, im not Bek, but i have recently scored my grad year recently. I was told by interview feedback from a organisation that the higher the scores for e.g. HD or D the more points would be added on in addition to your paperwork, cv and interview score

    Hey there thank you for the video. Could I ask how do we apply for a new hospital after finishing our new grad year ?
    I feel confused rn...

  • @asteph7314
    @asteph7314 Před 3 lety +1

    So can you still work in hospital after the grad program? Or you have to apply a position again?

    • @nursebek9428
      @nursebek9428  Před 3 lety

      The contract is only for 12 months so you have to reapply for a position ☺️

  • @lindawong5832
    @lindawong5832 Před 3 lety

    how much do you get paid while in the graduate program? what is the acceptance rate?

    • @nursebek9428
      @nursebek9428  Před 3 lety

      Every facility is different tbh. I’d say as a grad between 50-65k a year would be normal? That’s just a stab in the dark though.

      It makes it easier to get a job especially in the hospitals but not an absolute requirement 😊
