Our goal at Florida Hospital is to help our nursing students and graduates
gain valuable experience, as well as enjoy professional success. A nursing career offers great opportunities and we understand
that many students and graduates who apply for our programs have not worked
in a hospital environment. In order to assist you in your transition into
one of our Pre-Professional Programs, Nurse Internships or Nurse Residences,
we offer these 'Tips for Nursing Success'.
The Basics
- Please be on time and ready to work your scheduled shift. People are
depending on your ability to contribute.
- Please do not 'call out' for a shift. If you need to call out, please
give as much advance notice as possible, and make every attempt to cover
your shift.
Ways To Impress Your Managers and Dazzle Your Colleagues
- Be proactive. Ask for opportunities to learn new skills and acquire
knowledge. Demonstrating that you're eager to develop your professional
abilities will not only make you a better nurse; it will make you a
highly valued team member.
- Always convey a positive attitude. Working in an acute care environment
can be challenging and sometimes stressful. A positive demeanor will
help to make difficult situations more manageable. Plus, you'll be more
productive.
- Be flexible and expect the unexpected. We can't always anticipate
things so be prepared and willing to help out. In particular, if you're
flexible with scheduling and assignments, you'll benefit in the future
when you're looking for a permanent nursing position.
- Follow through on your commitments. Primarily, communicate your schedule
availability and stick to it.
- Ask questions. We're here to answer them, and it's the best way for you
to learn.
