The part about bad preceptors is SOO true. I had a horrible preceptor in the SICU who just made me feel like I couldn’t keep up. And I was a straight A student. She was one of those “I’ll do it myself” teachers, and I just thought who in the heck made you a preceptor??! How am I supposed to learn if you keep doing everything?? Anyway, I wish I had known back then that I could’ve requested someone else. Ended up quitting that program and applied to another program to get ICU trained. I have now been an ICU nurse for six years and I love it. Great video and great information!

I had the same experience. I had a horrific preceptor. After we got report, she was always on her phone. I never spoke up... now I am stuck off orientation feeling the incompetence.

I’m so glad to hear I’m not alone. As a new grad in STICU, it’s hard as expected but I’m able to learn if you give me a chance.

Can you please do, a walk through of a head to toe icu nurse assessment! You can teach really well, and I think it would be really helpful for new nurses to icu like me!

I was bullied bc I was the only nurse of color on my unit. That destroy my confidence n been in a toxic relationship doesn't help

I had a horrible orientation to my unit. Coming from med- surg & going to the SICU. 6 years later I'm still not as confident in certain situations as I should be. Hence, why I'm watching this video

I first watched this video while I was in nursing school and I had NO idea what you were talking about in that convo with "Dr.Pickle." I'm on week 5 of my ICU orientation and I get it now lol.

True! Preceptors can make or break you. My hospital rotates u with three preceptors and I love it!! Different ways to learn the same thing!

I would be lucky if I get a preceptor nurse like you! I'm so glad I found your channel. I want to be a CRNA one DAY. 😍👏👏👏🙌🙌

Aww thank you!!! I loved precepting!! It keeps me in tact with what’s going on. And I get to positively empower nurses coming in!

I just found your videos and I have been an ICU nurse for two years. I am glad that you made this video and spoke about preceptors. I had a ruff time with my preceptor in the ICU which bombed my confidence. I switched health systems and I have gained more confidence where I am not afraid to approach Residents Mid-level providers, Attendings and my fellow co-workers. Thank you

PJ I been locked in and tuned in with your KZread channel ! Guess what , I finish nursing school in 3 weeks. I also got a job in the ICU. I'm so excited but very nervous. Please don't stop making videos. I love your channel and you inspire me. SOON to be CRNA one day lol

Great video. When you talked about how you were messy as a new grad; I literally thought to myself yup he worked in the ER as a tech LOL

The preceptor comment 🙌🏽. I feel like that was one of my main reasons why I felt like I was not ready for nursing at all.

I will be starting the nursing program in about two weeks!!! I know I want to further my education even more and I’m torn between CRNA and NP. I’m glad I found your channel!!!!

AMEN!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Great info. Been In Med surg a year and trying to cross over to ICU

Thank you so much for this video! I’m watching this again as I just started in the ICU . These points are so great.. atp I wish you could be my preceptor 😭

Thank you so much! I am a nursing student who was exposed to the PICU for the first time. The experience had me thinking maybe I won’t be an ICU candidate because it was a bit much to take in. After listening to you, I’m realizing that it was normal for me to feel overwhelmed and I am still learning….😊

I left my unit because if my preceptor. Although she was friendly initially, later on she became a big bad rude monster to me . I didn't tolerate it and left .

10:26 what did I do good today? If anything at all. Making the switch soon. This is an amazing statement. It will be like that for a bit.

An ICU nurse in school said something like “mind your drip”. Won’t walk away until you see the first drips. Even knowing this I’ve made the mistake of leaving a piggyback clamped a handful of times.

Thank you sooo much for this video. I’m starting in ICU Sunday or Monday😬😬😬🤓. Great tips and things to think about. Keep putting out great videos and I’ll keep watching. Cannot wait for you to start CRNA school. I’ll be following your journey. Good luck to you sir!

I am good at being a student😅😂😂 i got 4 supernumerary shifts and start independently next week, never did a single icu placement. This is very helpful, I am definitely living on prayers rn. Hopefully, I'll feel better with time. I like the goals thing. Is it too little to have goals to understand a section each day?

I am a new ICU Nurse, coming from Med Surg, due to short staff, I have had a total of 7 preceptors over the course of 7 weeks. There has been no consistency at all. This has really made the transition very hard for me. Do you have any advice? Please help....

@@registerednursing2472 lol ok . That would’ve been a little more helpful in the initial comment than focusing on the music being a distraction especially if you’re needing advice. And moving forward i would encourage to make sure that when you do have issues with your patients and on your unit, that when addressing the problem you bring a solution or suggestion also... they’ll be plenty of bells and whistles ringing off as you working on your unit that you’ll have to over come to figure out what best to do for your patients, nevertheless, I’ll take the music volume into consideration. Although I don’t think it was pretty distracting. Maybe you just really liked the song it’s “Ja Ara E” by Burna Boy 🙃🙂Thanks. the key points of this video were: Develop a Good SBAR- similarly for what I mentioned early about problems and resolutions Speak on We- meaning foster a sense of teamwork when you can, try not to pin fault on one specific Person, try not to take all the glory for yourself Ask many questions- be in sponge mode, don’t be afraid you Will look weak, questions help you get smarter on the unit Highlight your strengths- if your good at IVs off that time other nurses , etc. Be organized- be ready for rounds, this is a huge part of how the rest of your day will go on the unit. Ask questions, make recommendations. Don’t just be a body in the huddle. Set goals for yourself- you should always be look to achieve goals, but especially when you’re new, it helps build confidence Switch preceptors if needed- not everyone is a good fit for you and it’s ok to ask for a switch .... orientation isn’t a hazing time

@@theCRNADrip Well the only reason I mentioned the music was because it truly was distracting and made it hard to grasp what you were saying. It wasn't to be rude. I was just opening your eyes to it. You can listen or not..doesnt matter. Thanks for the tips. They were great tips and I'll keep that in mind. Im 1 1/5 months in as a cardiac ICU nurse and Im feeling more confident every day. I really love this area. I want to get trained in placing picc lines next on my floor so they are eventually looking at training me at it.

We’re you messy because you were ED at heart lol ?
