Re: Small vs large hospital - transitions?
Personally, I enjoyed it when I switched to working at a larger hospital. I went from one where the average census was about 25 (in the whole house!) to one where the average census is 370-400 (we have 25 beds on our floor alone). It was quite a difference, but I got to get exposure to lots of stuff that I just didn't have the opportunity for at the smaller hospital.
I work tele/oncology and love it...it's more acute than a medical floor (been there done that) but I can transfer patients if they get too unstable, if the bed is available.
