With a new gig coming, you may be wondering how best to make the most of your new experience.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned at the last five weeks of our jobs, it’s this: it’s best to learn the skills you need to start at the bottom, learn how to do the bottom rung tasks and then move up from there.
So how do you know which skills need to be learned before you even start looking? The answer is as simple as understanding why you want to become a nurse:
You want to be a nurse
You see, the problem with the world today is that too many people are out of work. Now you may say, “So I guess you can help them out,” but there’s one problem with that: the ones you’re helping out are in other countries, and you have to go to them and work with them. And this gets very awkward because you have no idea how you would have started.
Being a nurse is the kind of job where you don’t have to show your employer you can do the job. In fact, you’d be surprised how many people still don’t believe you can do the job. They want to see you prove it by being able to prove it. And of course, that’s what we need to learn and demonstrate the skills to do.
You need to learn things first
The first thing we need to learn is how to put on the appropriate uniform, clean the sheets, change them, and even handle the bedpans. And the first task we’re going to learn is how to administer medication.
To be a nurse means a lot of things: you need to be patient, you need to be trustworthy, you need to be compassionate, you need to be caring, you need to know how to treat people, and you need to be able to care for the sick and the elderly. And you need to be a person who learns and adapts rapidly and well.
And you can’t learn that way. That’s why you need to start at the bottom. That’s why you need to start small, with learning as much as you can before you can start to go up.
Don’t be afraid to get dirty
or the second lesson we need to learn is how to put on the gown and lab coats. And you need to learn how to put them on and then take them off. Once you learn that, after that you need to learn how to clean the bed or toilet. You need to learn how to wash dishes and do laundry and take medicine. And then you need to learn how to do the hair and get dressed. And you don’t know where will need to be learned until you know how to get dressed in the morning.
But once you know how to do the first two lessons, you’ll be able to learn even more. And after that, if you want to learn where to get the next job, once you know about working at the hospital, you’ll know how to get a job there.
The main thing about the job market, is that there have been too many jobs.
