Introduce Yourself

It doesn’t matter if you’re at a restaurant, at a fundraiser or working a nursing shift—introduce yourself! Don’t just wait for someone to come up to you. Rather, you make the first move and introduction. It will make people more apt to remember you, too.

And introduce yourself to everyone! It doesn’t matter if they work in your department or not. By making introductions to everyone from the doctors to the housekeeping staff, you are making yourself open to meeting everyone—as well as building a second family.

Find Your Go-To

Chances are you’re going to have questions along the way, especially when starting a new job.

Therefore, have a set person in place who you will turn to when you have questions. Basically, you want to create your own mentorship team of people you can turn to for guidance.

Not only will this allow you a chance to create a deeper bond with these people, it will also help you become a better mentor yourself one day!

Ask Those Questions

Remember what you were taught in school? There are no stupid questions. This is still true as you begin your new position.

You are in a learning curve, and you need to ask questions to learn and avoid mistakes. Health care is always changing. Don’t be scared to ask those questions!
