#209: Q&A For Soon-To-Be-Grads

I get so many questions from students that are nearing graduation and wanted to share some of the most recent ones here with you in this Q&A. In this episode, we’ll talk about:

* How to deal when everyone tells you that you have to start in Med/Surg but you really don’t want to

* Maximizing learning with limited clinical hours

* Demystifying what those first crucial few months will be like as a new RN

* How to manage multiple job offers with professionalism

* Tips on gaining confidence as a new nurse

* Advice for how to talk to patients with limited clinical experience

* Specific areas to focus on for NCLEX studying

* Choosing between the specialty you love and the general route most nursing schools advise

* Red flags to look for while interviewing

* How to keep a positive mindset when so many people are talking negatively about nursing right now
