congratulations! to everyone that is starting in january!

i'm so excited to meet everyone-please introduce yourself!

:groupwelcome:

Fear not, I will keep you updated. My family will get so sick of hearing it that I'll have to have somewhere to share! lol. Are you looking at Irving, and which department are you interested in? (You may have told me, but I'm hyped up on cold medicine, and too lazy to look back lol).

Yang, RN

Call me crazy but I am thinking of starting off in M/S and then maybe moving on to ICU. The ER may be a little to fast paced for me, it's always hopping lol, but I know it can't be anything less than exciting...that is why I have to live it thru you!!! I am closer to downtown Dallas so I will probably try big Baylor, closer drive.

M/S is definitely way too non-adrenaline for me. I need the craziness. Are you leery about going straight to ICU? From what I understand, the internships do a really wonderful job of prepping you at most hospitals!

Yea kinda leery, I had been visualizing the patient just hanging on by a thread and....Oh Boy!!! I was thinking that kind of stress would be just too too much to start with. I just might reconsider after I do some checking around at different hospitals about their internships, the length of time and what it consist of etc.

Congratulations, Yang, RN! :yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

Cupid....nothin' wrong with going to M/S first. My friend from school did, and is enjoying it. She does have a thought about going to the ICU later, but wanted the M/S background until she felt more comfortable with everything.

Well, well, well, how sweet does it sound "RN Yang." I knew you would succeed. Congratulations and I wish you well on your ER endeavors. It must be nice to start your intern as a RN instead of just a GN. I'm hoping to do the same or at least a month after graduation. I know you will be busy but keep in tough with us who are still trying to survive ECC and let us know how things are turning out for you. Again congratulations "Yang, RN"

Thanks! I'll still be around though - fear not. I'm too much of a mommy to do otherwise. LOL

Specializes in OR Internship starting in Jan!!.

I'm so proud of Yang, RN! I cannot wait to add those letters after my name ...

I start my new job in the morning. From what I understand, tomorrow is just the HR 'paperwork' day, so it should be fairly low key. We shall see!

Good luck with school starting this week!!

Thanks Ally!!! Well, one week down! And though there are not any exciting stories yet, it has been interesting. Everyone from the CEO down seems super nice! It's just been mostly policy/procedure stuff so far, but I'm in class this week and then the next week, I have 1 day in the ER, and the next week, I think 2 or 3 days.

It seems like the ED is pretty high acuity though. They said a couple of patients to go on a vent PER DAY, and they see 3,000 + a month and 60% of those get admitted! Should be an adventure!
