[lvloverRN]

hi, ill be starting in august in a med/surg floor, can you describe what goes on,

what you usually do once you punch in, and describe your daily tasks, and

time management, and organization skills until you leave at 7pm? I have about 10mos of experience under my belt, i am currently

working at a sub-acute unit/rehab floor at one of the long term care facilities

in nj. also, do you think my experience working there will somehow be helpful?

thank you very much!! any tips, suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated.
