What Can I Do to Enhance My Nursing Career Part 2

Welcome to Part 2: Tips for Leveling Up in Your Nursing Career! ↗

1. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿. “If you want to go far, go together” is part of an African Proverb that certainly applies to nursing. Find someone who is further ahead to help you get to where you want to go. It’s that simple.

2. 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁. This is a key to preventing burnout and having a rewarding and meaningful nursing career. Identifying and pursuing a passion project may be difficult at first, which is why you need to find a mentor (refer to #1).

3. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Did you know that our personality plays a role in how we receive and give communication and that we can modify how we communicate to fit someone else’s personality? Personality science is fascinating, and learning more about it can help you uplevel your interactions with colleagues, bosses, and patients.

4. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁. Finding a niche is key. Check out my downloadable guide to 60 nursing niche ideas. You can find the resource link in my bio or comment NICHE for a DM with the direct link.

5. 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. You’ve heard it said - you can’t take care of others (effectively or for very long) if you’re not taking care of yourself. What that actually means looks different for everyone. What is one way you can better care for yourself today?
