I'll try not to make this too long. I recently started working at a new smaller hospital on their med surg floor. Prior to that I was an ER nurse for almost 3 years at a big level one trauma center. I learned a lot there in those 3 years. Well I was hired as a staff nurse at this new hospital and have been working on it for a little over a month now. I have caught on extremely fast and have been taking patients since the second day on the floor. The assistant nurse manager on days is leaving and I was encouraged to apply so I did. At first I was the only applicant now there are two others who do not work on our floor. I was feeling kind of good about it, but now I am worried. I know I can do the job hands down and I know that I can teach the other nurses a lot. They are not as confident as the nurses are at the hospital I came from, but they can be, a lot of them are really smart nurses.
Do you guys think I have any kind of advantage over these other applicants who have never worked on the floor. I am just really worried because it seems like I never win anything.
