Graduated in August, passed NCLEX and have been working on a Onc Med/Surg Unit since. I HATE IT. I love the patients and nursing skills but I hate the high patient loads and other craziness. Also, my hospital is in the "dark ages" with regards to computer systems for charting, MAR's and anything else which makes the record keeping/admin part of the job 10 times harder and more inefficient than it should be. I am always 1-2 hours getting out of there at the end of shift.
Question: I went back to nursing school because I wanted to be an Onc nurse and give chemo. I really want to work in an infusion center.
Do you all think there is any reason I need to stay in this darn hospital .. or.. can I just start looking for a job in an infusion center ?
Opinions and experiences welcome. Thanks
