Default Re: New Grad Possible Job in ER
Also I started out as a new grad in the ER. I am not going to lie- it was hard. But it is very doable. I had zero experience other than being a student nurse and over a year later I am doing fine. I still ask for help, still have trouble getting an IV every now and then, and still look up drugs on a daily basis. The doctors even ask my opinion and listen. You can do it just know the road is a rough one but we are here to help!

hey even after 20+ years as ED and medic I still learn something every now and again, the day I a dont is the day it will be the time to pack it up and call it quits. That said I enjoy passing on my hard earned knowledge to the babies of the field.

I started in the ER part time as a new grad... best thing I ever did, I recently took a full time position in critical care but plan to return to emergency when a job opens up

I went to the ER straight from graduation. I had no prior medical experience, one of the toughest "trial by fire" experiences I've ever had. You can do it, as said earlier just don't go in like you know it all. Every ER has its own "rhythm", you've got to dance to it until you get your feet wet. Good luck, ER nurses are...lets just say "unique" to the healthcare industry. No way I can see myself as a floor nurse.
