Hi Everyone! I have started as a Volunteer Nurse last week in one of the hospitals here in our province. The chief nurse has assigned me to medicine ward but I wanted to be transfered to the ER..I really Find ER as one of the most interesting and challenging areas in the hospital...As a Novice in the field, what should I do? what are the things That I have to remember by heart so that I will be competent in the area that I have chosen..on the other hand, I'm also interested In Critical Care Nursing, do you think being assigned in the ICU Is also good?

ALL MIXED UP
Two doctors were in a hospital one day complaining about Nurse Cindy. "She's incredibly mixed up," said one doctor. "She does everything absolutely backwards."
"Just last week I told her to give a patient 2 milligrams of morphine every 10 hours. She gave him 10 milligrams every 2 hours. He damn near died on us."
The second doctor said, "That's nothing. Earlier this week, I told her to give a patient an enema every 24 hours. She tried to give him 24 enemas in one hour! The guy damn near exploded."
Suddenly,they hear this blood-curdling scream from down the hall. "Oh my God!" said the first doctor, "I just realized I told Nurse Cindy to prick Mr. Smith's boil."
