Episode 026: New nurse in the COVID ICU? This one is for YOU!

<p>On this episode, we discuss some tips and things to remember if you are a new nurse in the COVID ICU (or any COVID unit). We talk about flexing that &quot;asking for help&quot; muscle, swallowing a little pride, time management tips specific for COVID, and clinical expectations for these patients. Newer nurses are certainly being thrown into the deep end between shortened orientations, surged assignments, not enough staff, and disaster practices (let alone starting their careers amidst a global pandemic). So I hope this episode might help you get more of a handle on a few things and give you a heads up on what to expect. Remember that you are stronger than you give yourself credit for. And don&apos;t forget that we are all in this together!</p> <p class='_72b584a33b4aad1bec787e057cf07946-scss _8a9c5cc886805907de5073b8ebc3acd8-scss'> <span class='_37fcf6672889ad5b81fbce929a8fad5e-scss'>I would love to answer ANY questions you have about caring for COVID patients in or out of the ICU.
