Re: OB nurse working Med/Surg
I've been a nurse for a year on a med/surg floor. I figured out pretty quickly which charge nurses not to ask, and which other RN's not to ask for help. Unfortunately, it sounds like you're being taken advantage of. Figure out who to ask for help (usually one of the other floor nurses rather than the charge). I usually start my request with something like, "I need to do this and I've never done it before..." or "I'm still not comfortable with this. Can you watch/help/demonstrate" or whatever I need. Most of the other nurses on my floor are pretty great about helping out. Keep asking.
