Many new nurses have to endure brusque behavior and cutting criticism from more experienced colleagues. A March 2019 DailyNurse article provides 10 ways nurse leaders can support new nurses.

  1. Remember you’re a role model.
  2. Get them up to speed on company culture.
  3. Help younger nurses network.
  4. Give constructive criticism.
  5. Help them identify areas for growth.
  6. Praise new nurses when they do something right.
  7. Share examples from your own experience.
  8. Deliver on your promises.
  9. Be a trustworthy sounding board.
  10. Stay open to feedback.
