Any experienced nurse will tell you that there are many critical skills you simply can’t and won’t learn in nursing school. These skills come with experience and can be honed on the job. Time management is one area that you simply must figure out on your own. It can take time, especially depending on the type of nursing facility you are working in. You will come with your own routine on the job. Teamwork is another skill that you need to actually do in order to truly learn it. Recognizing that you are a part of a medical team will help you stay focused on your role while supporting others in their positions. There’s a lot that can be only learned over time while on the job. Keep that in mind as you move on from nursing school to getting started in your career.
