Sharing is caring!

*Revised and Updated 2019*

Welcome! This eBook is a comprehensive guide to the foundation of working as a Registered Nurse.

I wish I had a guide like this when I graduated nursing school! Nursing school prepped me for the hospital but it did not prepare me for the details of being on my own. I struggled with time management, giving effective report, really interpreting EKGs, prioritizing tasks during a code blue, etc.

I needed a lot of direction and I have developed the following tools after a decade of bedside nursing. I want to share my tools with you all in the form of a short eBook.

Who Am I? I’m a Nurse!

I would love to introduce myself. My name is Meg and I’ve been a nurse for 10 years with a BSN in Nursing from Florida International University. I have worked all over healthcare, from rehabs to Emergency rooms, Telemetry floors to Cardiovascular Step-down units. I’ve seen it all. Healthcare is a wonderfully exhausting and rewarding field, I absolutely love being a nurse and teaching other nurses how to be the best they can be.

I promise, you will find this helpful if you’ve been a nurse for a while and SUPER helpful if you are just starting out.

I have a deep passion for new graduate nurses. I think you are the future of nursing and the precious angels who will care for all of us “old worn out nurses” one day. Please hang in there!

So many nurses leave the profession within the first 5 years. I personally believe this number is high because nurses don’t get the encouragement and foundation that they need within the first year. I want to give you a foundation to become an efficient proficient nurse.

What does the Nurse eBook include?

This eBook is a comprehensive guide to working as a Registered Nurse. It is perfect if you are a new nurse or just want to excel in the basics. I am not a huge fan of nursing schools, they can be discouraging and DO NOT properly prepare you for shifts on your own! That is why I write this eBook on the foundations to master as an RN.
