About Us
Hello there and thanks for stopping by! My name is Hailey, and I am the founder of RN New Grads! RN New Grads was developed in 2019 when I was a freshly graduated nursing student. I struggled to find a centralized resource that provided information on hospitals that accepted RN new grads or had RN New Grad Programs.
After countless hours of research, I composed a word document of all the RN New Grad Programs in Southern California. I thought, โIf I am having this problem, others must be too.โ So, I decided to create RN New Grads to help the job search easier for others. Since our inception, RN New Grads has grown into a comprehensive platform for all things nursing.

Yes, this is 100% a true story of what we did to help treat a patient who came to the ER with a potassium of 8.4! โฃ
โฃ
The patient was actually in the waiting room when we got the lab results back so needless to say, we got the patient into a bed and took action immediately. With the potassium being 8.4 (normal is 3.5-5), the patient was at an extremely high risk for potentially coding out in the waiting room, so they skipped a few of the stable patients in the waiting room to get a bed. โฃ
โฃ
Here is a memory trick to help you remember treatment for severe hyperkalemia = โ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ ๐ฎ๐ณโ ๐คชโฃ
โฃ
๐ - Dialysis to help filter the blood of potassium โฃ
๐ - Insulin to help push potassium back into cellsโฃ
๐ - Calcium carbonate to stabilize the cardiac membrane โฃ
๐ - Kayexalate to help poop out the potassium (some doctors will order kayexalate)โฃ
๐ฆ - Sugar/dextrose to not bottom out the patient when giving insulin. You typically donโt do this step if the blood sugar is >250โฃ
โฃ
๐ - Albuterol to help push potassium back into cellsโฃ
๐ - Furosemide helps remove potassium through the urine

When lactic acid is elevated, itโs usually a sign that the body has poor perfusion โ meaning tissues arenโt getting enough oxygen. This forces cells to switch from aerobic (oxygen-based) metabolism to anaerobic metabolism, which produces lactate as a byproduct.โฃ
โฃ
๐ง How do fluids help?โฃ
โข Increase intravascular volume: Expands blood volume to improve circulation and tissue perfusion.โฃ
โข Boost cardiac output: More circulating volume means the heart can pump more effectively, delivering oxygen to starved tissues.โฃ
โข Flush out lactate: Better perfusion helps the liver and kidneys clear excess lactate from the bloodstream.โฃ
โข Prevent progression to shock: Early fluid resuscitation can stop a downward spiral into severe sepsis or organ failure.โฃ
โฃ
โ ๏ธ But remember:โฃ
โข Not all patients need aggressive fluids โ be mindful of fluid overload, especially in heart failure or renal patients.โฃ
โข Serial lactate checks help track if treatment is working โ a decreasing lactate usually means better perfusion!โฃ
โฃ
Fluids = oxygen delivery = less lactic acid buildup. ๐ฉธโฃ

I really wanted to create something to make studying for interviews easier because I know how stressful they can be. The positive feedback I have been getting from everyone purchasing makes my heart so so happy. I had one person tell me there was one spot open for the job she was interviewing for and she was the one chosen out of a TON of people because of how much the Nursing Interview Flashcards helped her๐ฅฒ When I tell you these WILL help you - they will freaking help you! The amount of time and research I put into this product is hard to put into words because I want everything to be perfect for you to make your life easier.
Hereโs a quick breakdown of the Nursing Interview Flashcards that wasnโt covered in the video:
โช๏ธNo these are not just for new grads. These are for EVERYONE studying for an interview.
โช๏ธThere will be both a physical product and an online product available (yes I promise I listen to you guys and what you want๐)
โช๏ธThere will are three different variations online/digital 1.) The Complete Pack (& what I recommend). 2.) ER/ICU Pack. 3.) Med-Surg/Telemetry Pack
โช๏ธThe physical flashcards only comes in the Complete Pack
โช๏ธThere are physical/digital combos too!
โช๏ธThis box I videoed a few months ago and was a sample so yes I know โIntensive Care Unitโ is spelled wrong and it is fixed lol. I had to change the weight of the flashcards as well as the back of the flashcards so if you wanted to write in pen it wouldnโt smear so this was before I went through everything and made my fixes lol.
