Advice for a new grad starting on cv unit

[estrickland]

I will be starting my first job as an RN on a CV unit. Can any on give me any helpful advice. Medications, procedures i may need to study up on, or advice and/or tips in general.

I also agree with getting to work early! I frequently charged when I worked on PCU and I would always arrive at least 30min early...one of the reasons being so that I could make the assignments for my shift; the other reason was so I could start looking at my assigned patient's charts and get a head start on my shift. I feel like I would fall behind if I arrived later than 1830.
