Nurses are rock stars. They work long shifts at odd hours, extending compassionate, patient care, even in the most challenging situations. IntelyCare is here to take care of those who take care of everyone else, and we’re driven to offer nurses healthcare’s best working experience. But what does it take to be a better nurse at IntelyCare?
Here are some key tips to help you succeed as an IntelyPro.
Better nurses pick up – and complete – shifts.
It probably doesn’t need explaining, but the more shifts you work, the more money you make! But another benefit to picking up and completing more shifts is the experience you gain. Every shift is a new learning opportunity, as well as a chance to build connections with new facilities. Both can help you become a better nurse. Our facilities love when they get to know their IntelyPros. When they know you, facilities can be confident that you will provide the best care possible for their patients.
Better nurses arrive on time – every time.
Our favorite IntelyPros are the ones that show up on time, every time. When working at a new facility, IntelyPros should make sure they arrive a few minutes before their shift. This allows you ample time to meet your supervisor, check in, and settle into your shift assignment. Arriving a bit earlier than your shift start time makes a world of difference for our IntelyPro’s experience. And, in general, being early for shifts can give you a better understanding of facility’s environment, which can help you provide better care, and be a better nurse to your patients.
Better nurses pay attention to detail.
Careful attention to detail isn’t only necessary for reading a patient’s chart; it’s also vital to adhere to the protocol of the facilities you work in. That means checking your profile for facility notes before your shift with IntelyCare. It’s also important to ensure you are up to date on required tests and immunizations, and check in with supervisors if you have a question about facility protocol.
Better nurses communicate well.
At IntelyCare, it’s important that we establish a clear line of communication between our team and our IntelyPros. IntelyCare is here to be your ally and advocate. Questions, concerns, or feedback that you have about your shifts or facilities are always welcome. We also know that communication is a two-way street. We promise to keep you in the loop as we grow and improve our experience, and will continue to inform you when we have updates. When in doubt, ask questions. Questions help us learn to become a better resource for you, and can help you become an even better nurse.
Better nurses provide compassionate care.
Nurses do what they do because they love helping others – so this step is an easy one. But in high stress or frustrating situations, it can be hard to keep your cool. Just know that even in the face of a challenging shift, remember that you are appreciated by your patient, the facility, and us. Thank you for providing care with a smile, even on the toughest days!
