Hello fellow nurses!

I graduated in May with my ADN and passed the NCLEX in July. I have been in an orientation program for a Med-Surg position since July and will be on my own in November!

Hello, I just graduated from PN school on August 15th. I was just offered a position on Med-Surg and start September 15. I enjoyed Med-Surg in clinical and learned so much. I look forward as this being my foundation for nursing right out of out school.

Congrats and good luck. I started on a medsurg floor right out of LPN school. It is a great learning experience. I work at a small hospital with 36 med surg beds on our floor. You have a good variety of disease processes and use your critical thinking skill alot.

I have been a nurse for 6 years now - recently moved to a large city from the small town life where I did everything (and I do mean everything). Was given the opportunity to work anywhere - chose Med-surg b/c in the end - I love it. I can't stand L&D (too many babies having babies and screaming at me that it hurts too bad and can't I take away the pain)... ER is too feast or famine and I just needed a break from critical care. Charge nurse from 7-7 and love the diversity!

Hi,

I'm a LPN graduated Dec.07! Passed NCLEX-PN in April 08. Finally got my IV/Central Line Certification in Aug. Then nothing! I lost the med/surg position I was to get in May after my IV cert. Well, I took too long to accomplish my cert. and in the interim, they filled the position. But I persisted and I finally got my dream position (med/surg in a hospital setting) in October and start my orientation Monday. I can't wait to join the ranks of all of you and I can only hope that I carry my load and work really hard! But I'm very excited and grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow.
