ER New Grad Survival Guide: Precepting in a Packet

ER New Grad Survival Guide: Precepting in a Packet

Starting in the ER and wishing you could keep your preceptor in your pocket? This guide is for you. 🤍

I started my nursing career in a Level I trauma ER, and I love helping new nurses connect what they learned in school to what’s happening at the bedside. I created this packet to share the practical questions, reminders, and lessons I wish someone had handed me before my first shift.

Inside this 33-page guide, you’ll find:

• How to prioritize patients, give report, and recognize concerning changes

• What to anticipate with sepsis, abdominal pain, bleeding, and stroke

• IV medication precautions—including reactions nobody warns you about

• Hyperkalemia and DKA explained through what treatments actually do

• Rhythm assessment, pacing, intubation, and CPR essentials

• Reversible causes of cardiac arrest

• Personal ER stories, study recap pages, and clickable references

Written in an approachable, conversational style, this is a companion for orientation—and something to revisit as your experience grows.

You don’t have to know everything on day one. You do need to ask questions, speak up, and keep learning.

Digital download: One 33-page PDF. No physical product will be shipped.

For adult emergency nursing education. This guide supplements learning and does not replace facility policies, provider orders, clinical judgment, or BLS/ACLS training.

For individual use only. Your purchase is for one reader. Please do not forward, upload, resell, or distribute this guide. Sharing the shop link with friends supports my work and helps me keep creating affordable nursing resources.
