@drjoe_md: It’s the day brand new doctors stop being medical students and start caring for real patients under the supervision of senior residents and attending physicians. It’s exciting, overwhelming, and honestly a little terrifying. The good news is that the system is designed to teach safely. New interns aren’t making decisions in isolation, and every experienced doctor you trust today once stood exactly where they are now. To all the new interns starting today: congratulations. You’ll never forget your first day, and before you know it, you’ll be the one teaching the next generation. What’s the biggest mistake you made on your first day at a new job? #MedicalEducation #Residency #Doctor #EmergencyMedicine
It’s my 20th year of being a nurse on July 1st. 😬 that’s all.

I think you forgot to honorably mention the seasoned nurses that will kindly question any & every ridiculous/unsafe order & suggest what might work better.

Especially at Stanford Hospital in Northern California I work there. It is a zoo today and will be for quite some time. It’s to be a medic and worked out of that hospital.

The worst part about this day for nurses is the delay in getting the orders we need... everything has to be discussed with the group

Be kind. Everyone was new once, sometimes more than once. These folks will only learn by doing. Remember, they are not the last say, the attending is so don’t worry. They are supervised!

And because it’s their first day on the job that also means that your visit to the office, hospital, emergency room will be a long to be seen even if you made it into the exam room
