At my clinical site, the nurse I was shadowing told me to look at the hospitals policy if you were ever unsure of something.These tips are very helpful! Thank you!
+Wander Slate Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, hospital policies are so great for when you are unsure of something. They are really a new nurse's best friend :) Thanks again for sharing. -Sarah
When I watched you're videos it gives me more courage to face the world of nursing, as a new nurse working in acute is very overwhelming specially when I'm surrounded with the pro I feel like Im a loser. but give it time is a word I want to hear. thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much. I’ve been working a month as a new nurse and wow there is so much I need to know how to do, you have helped me a ton over the past couple years and I’m very grateful for your videos

Hey Sarah (sorry I hope I'm spelling that right)! I was wondering if you knew about getting the opportunity to insert a NG tube in nursing school. I never got the opportunity to do this in school and I'm starting my first RN job in a month. I'm a little worried about not having done this skill by myself. I have done a bunch of other skills (IVs, Foleys, Central Dressing change) but just never seemed to do a NG tube. Is something that's expected for a new graduate?
Hello :) During nursing school the only time I got to insert an NG tube was on a manikin and doing it on a manikin and on a real person are two different things. IVs, Foleys, and central dressing changes are way more common in the hospital setting than NG tubes (plus it depends on what type of floor you are working on....a GI floor is going to have tons of them...while a cardiac floor, maybe every once in a while), but yes, you may encounter them as a new grad. If it does happen I would ask some of the experienced nurses on your floor to assist you with it. When I first started out I had to access a subq port, and I asked for help from some of the other nurses who walked me through it. Remember you are not alone and our co-workers are really some of the best people in the world to help you. So, just always ask for help!
Thanks so much Sarah! That really helps a lot and good to know as I start. I really love your videos, I find your positivity and enthusiasm really infectious. :)
