Here we have what to expect during your nursing orientation and how to best prepare for it! Congratulations! You landed your dream job, but the hard work never ends. Especially as a New Grad, your first nursing orientation can be tough, but not impossible! The first thing is to be mentally prepared and have an idea of what to expect. Nursing is hard, mentally and physically. Mentally it will be a lot tougher in the beginning because on top of the nerves, you are also learning so many new things every second you are at work. It may be fast paced and overwhelming, but never forever to give yourself some credit for getting to where you are and be ready to learn! Be humble, ask questions and absorb as much as you can from all the wonderful nurses/staff around you. Learning knew things in the nursing profession is never ending. You will never know everything, but you will definitely become more and more confident in your knowledge and skills as time goes by. Be confident and most importantly give your patients the best care you can offer. Be patient with yourself, we all were new at some point. As we said in the video, you are not born just KNOWING. Don't worry about asking too many questions, ASK AWAY! Good luck and continue to grow as a nurse and person throughout your nursing journey. Once again, thank you for watching and stay tuned for our next videos :)

I think having multiple preceptors helps. Different nurses work a little differently. They end up showing you things the others didn’t. It helps a lot.
J D you are absolutely right. You get to learn so many different things from possibly having multiple preceptors. One will show you a away and the other will show you a different, maybe even an easier way.
I really needed to hear this. I graduated nursing school in 2021 but because of my mental health and a lot of personal issues I delayed taking the NCLEX and getting a job till this year. I actually have my first orientation shift tonight and I am super anxious and I don't feel prepared at all. But just hearing you two talk about all the same things that I am feeling has made me feel so much less alone. That I am not the only one feeling that way I am feeling and that I can do this! Thank you for this video I really needed it.
We are so glad we can help you feel less stress. Nursing is stressful but you are never alone. You have coworkers to help you through a shift. I hope it is going well for you. Thank you for the support. Continue shining!
I’m smiling the whole entire video. Love this! It made me feel better. As a new RN it’s very nerve racking.
We are glad that we can share our story and help other new nurses. It was definitely scary in the beginning learning everything while also having imposter syndrome. Good luck to you and thank you for supporting us!

Glad that our content helped you! hope you are enjoying yourself in you new facility. Thank you for the support.
Great video y’all are so NYC BX in the house lol Starting my first day of orientation today thanks for the tips
I'm a new grad and I've been having a rough time because of anxiety and wanting to be perfect. These tips are great and help me calm down. This third week will be better.
Hello! How is it going for you after roughly 11 months ?
you guys just earned another subscriber! i will be starting tomorrow and my anxiety is killing me, it's cray cray. but now i'm relieved! thank you for positivity!
Thank you for the support! Good luck on your journey, you got this!
Needed this, starting as a new grad on a Telemetry floor. Thank you
I'm a new subscriber...just from this video I fell in love with you guys lol 🤣🤣🤣 I loved the video. I start my first day as nurse next week and this was very helpful. Thank you for the content.
I am returning to hospital nursing after 10 years as a stay at home mom. I am so anxious about it!!
wow! You just did one of the hardest jobs out there (stay at home mom) I'm sure you will be just fine! Goodluck with everything!!
i just passed my nclex and im starting orientation monday...i am a bit taken back but you guys down to earth and realness has me feeling ready. thank you so much ladies
Goodluck! Be patient with yourself and you will do great!
Wow, I really needed this! Everything you said. I'm so glad I came across this video, it was so helpful 🙏🏼Thank you!
So happy we could help! Thanks so much for watching 😊
okay im so glad i found your channel! im in nursing school rn and yall answered all my questions ! love the vibessss
Awesome!! This is why we do it. Thanks for watching ♥️
I'm a brand new grad and I just found your channel. Love it. You guys are so reassuring in this video. ASKING QUESTIONS! Honestly, one of the best tips. I was scared to ask questions as a student, but now as a nurse, I'm more comfortable, partly because I have to be, I'm now responsible for my patients, I don't have a preceptor nurse behind me. I ask so many questions, literally every shift, I'm asking questions. Sometimes I feel like I'm annoying with all my questions lol but luckily I have a great team who is here for me :)
Of course!! Its so much better to ask questions (even if you might think you already know the answer) Compared to making a mistake. Our job is so sensitive, we have to be extra careful. Thanks for letting us in on your journey. Hope you have been doing well!
Love all your tips especially coming early to the shift because that’s really true it will give you time to be prepared for your shift ❤
So true! Thank you for the support.

Great video 💋
Thanks for the feedback! Very appreciated!
🎉🎉🎉Getting The NCLEX license has been my greatest achievement since my lifetime and I'm so happy and grateful to Mrs Sophia for making my dreams come through.🙌🙌
I just failed the NCLEX, I cannot begin to articulate the level of embarrassment and heartache I'm feeling. I'm confident that I will be a good nurse. I just need to get past this, move on and persevere
Well I've taken the exams for the second time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it.
@@vanessanathan1603 NCLEX exams won't be bother you or be a problem if you work with someone like Mrs Sophia....she's god sent she saved me from taking the exam for the 3rd time
This S her social media👇👇👇

Goodluck!!
😂 "Yo, what's good???"
Hi guys!! Thank you for your videos!! I have a question...did you guys start out in a nurse residency program? Or straight into an RN job without experience? I ask only because I am in my last semester and crazy nervous and not sure if I should go for a residency program.
This is a great question! Sorry for the late response, this may not be helpful to you now but maybe it can help someone else.
Doing a residency program is very beneficial in learning the nursing skills early on as well as possibly landing a job in that specific unit or hospital you plan to complete the residency program in. Ang did a residency program after graduation and landed a job in the unit. Nat did not complete a residency program but was still able to get a job offer. We do recommend to complete a residency program as it gets your foot in the door and it shows being proactive.
Thank you for the support!
Hey ladies, which hospital do you guys work?
👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
I love guys, you are the best. A question, where did they study?
We went to Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY! ❤️ thank you!!
Do hospitals teach you how to insert I.Vs? The nursing program that I attend doesn't teach that.
Yes, they will teach you
Greatest thing is that hospitals know as new grads you do not have specific nursing skills. They will teach everything that is required in your specialty. Thank you for the support!
Also I have another question! Did you guys apply to work for the same hospital purposely or it just happened? Lol I wish I could have my friend working on the same unit as me!🥰
Ang had told me (Nat) to apply to the same unit, and we just so happened to both get it. I’m so grateful they hired us together. Now we try to work most days together.
I'm from Canada, Ontario. Am I supposed to work on a unit without proper orientation. Can I refuse my work if im not given a proper orientation
Please reply
I’m not sure of the rules in Canada, but you should definitely speak to your manager and read your contract on how long your orientation should be. It should be written on there, or you can speak to your HR department. It is not safe for you to care for patients without proper orientation! I hope it works out for you.
Are you guys ok? Y'all haven't posted a video in a while
We are okay! Just have had so much going on and going through so many changes. Can't wait to update everyone on our journey!! Thanks for watching :)
