I posted awhile ago asking whether it was better to start in CCU or on a Med/Surg floor. I decided that even though I was comfortable and loved my job where I was, I'd go for one in the CCU where I want to work someday and learn as much as I can, get to know the system, etc. before I get through nursing school rather than hit a floor fresh as a new grad with no clue what I was in for. Well, I got the job and start in a few weeks!
I'm excited but nervous at the same time. It's always hard being the new person and it took about a year at my job before anyone would even bother talking to me. 5 years later I'm hesitant to leave for that reason, but know it's the best thing for my career.
My question to you all - What makes a fantastic unit secretary for you? What do you expect from us? What ****** you off?
