5 Tips to Ease Overwhelmed New Hires

Do you want to deal with overwhelmed and sensitive new hires? Well, fear not, my friends. I have 5 quick tips for you to remember and pass on. 

1. First and foremost, be mindful of what you say and how you say it around new hires who may still be on edge. It's important to create a welcoming and supportive environment for them, especially when they're trying to learn a ton of new information and multitask. Also, don't be afraid to defend them against snide remarks from other nurses or CNA/PCAs.
2. Secondly, train them the right way and then teach them the shortcuts. This will help them become more efficient and confident in their roles. 
3. Thirdly, encourage them to take notes. With so much information to absorb, it's easy to forget important details. 
4. Fourthly, teach them to be proactive. Acting in anticipation of future problems is key to success in any job.
5. Lastly, always be patient and understanding with new hires. They're a valuable part of the team, and with the proper guidance, they'll thrive in their new role.
