ccu to Pacu big mistake

[Andrea2107]

Recently left ccu after 7 years for a change. What a mistake. U can't take a critical thinking PCs nurse and expect her to rush pts out the door without addressing all the issues...I get told all the time..just send then to the floor...you don't need to worry about that......I ask about details of a surgery I'm not familiar with and get told if I knew everything about every procedure I world be a Dr.....I just don't fit in..I'm a fixer......I never get my patients out in time because of my attention to detail.....any thoughts......very serious about going back to icu.....I fell like I chart and transport more than I an a nurse!!!!!

I also found it difficult to go from ICU to PACU because it is a race against time and the charting in massive. I went to a largely outpatient recovery which I found nice because people are relatively healthy so I can focus more on patient recovery than their health issues.
