I have a question for the polls I haven't seen here yet.
Where do you nurse, hospital/homehealth/hospice/nursing home/ clinic?
Second question what is your speciality?
Me, I work in a clinic where we deal with cancer patients from dr visits to chemo therapy and everyrthing in between and beyond.
I work in a 400 bed hospital... Charge nurse on a Med-Surg Unit with emphasis on post-op surgical patients... primarily gyn/lap chole/appys... traumas who don't require ICU (although they very often NEED ICU) and the more complex surgical cases. I also float to practically anywhere I'm needed within the Med/Surg module.
Peace:)
I work in a 171 bed hospital which is a regional medical center because it has a NICU. I work on a six bed interventional cardiology unit which right now used as overflow for the cardiovascular stepdown unit. They send the post caths to CVSD and give us inappropriate admits. But that's another thread.
I work in a 56 bed psychiatric hospital in Arkansas. My specialty is working with acute adult patients (nightshift on the concentrated-care aka "lock-up" unit).
Several hospitals in a several hundred mile radius have closed their psych floors down so we have been completely full for several months (with patients waiting in ERs for beds).
