My First 90 Days as a Nurse: The Questions I'm Afraid to Ask at Work

What Can We Talk About?

Maybe you froze when it was time to call a provider. Maybe you're struggling to prioritize your assignment, give report, delegate appropriately, or get everything done before the end of your shift.

Perhaps you're dealing with an intimidating coworker, worried about a mistake you made, or simply wondering, "Should I already know this?

And you don't have to ask your question in front of everyone.

When you register, you'll have the opportunity to anonymously submit a real question or situation from your floor that you'd like addressed during the session.

What's happening on your floor that you wish you had someone safe to ask about?

We'll answer as many submitted questions as we can during our 30-minute live session.

No names. No judgment. No "you should already know that."

Just nurses talking honestly about nursing.
Please protect patient privacy. Do not include patient names, dates of birth, room numbers, facility names, coworker names, or other identifying information.

Coffee with Rhoda: A Free Night of Mentoring for New Nurses

I want to try something a little different on November 5 at 730 pm.
I'm opening up a free evening of Coffee with Rhoda, and this night is going to be just for new nurses.
No lecture. No PowerPoint. No test.
Just bring your coffee, bring your questions, and bring whatever has been happening on the floor.
Maybe you had a shift that left you wondering, Did I handle that correctly?
Maybe you're struggling with prioritizing several patients at once.
Maybe calling a provider still makes you nervous.
Maybe you're having trouble with time management, giving report, communicating with a preceptor, or knowing when something you see in your patient is important enough to act on.
Or maybe you're doing better than you think you are—but you need someone outside of your workplace to help you talk it through.
That's what this evening is for.
One of the things I believe new nurses need is a place where they can talk about what is happening without worrying about how the question will sound or whether someone at work will think they "should already know that."
During Coffee with Rhoda, we'll talk through your questions together. I won't simply tell you what you should have done. We'll work through what you noticed, what you were thinking, what your options were, and how you can approach a similar situation next time.
Because that's how clinical judgment—and confidence—grows.
Coffee with Rhoda
Free New Nurse Mentoring Night
November 5
Bring a cup of coffee, tea, water—or whatever gets you through the evening—and come as you are.
You don't even have to bring a question. You may learn something from another new nurse's question that helps you on your very next shift.
If you'd like to join us, reply to this email and tell me, "Save me a seat."
