I Currently work in the MICU at Columbia Presbyterian. I started on a Med-Surg/ stepdown floor there. I was an LPN prior to becoming an RN so my initial preceptorship on the MS floor was more about learning the policies and how things were done on that unit. when I went to the MICU however, I was stressed- that's the only word for it. one very long, stressful 6 weeks- but I made it. You are gonna be terrified b/c it's normal- just prepare yourself by reading/reviewing, seek out learning opportunities, and ask questions. lastly, no matter what you do- always project confidence especially at the bedside- a pt needs to feel comfortable in the hands of a nurse. Cochran is an excellent school and we have been prepared by the best.good luck!!! what area are you going to be working in- specialty?? also- be extremely organized and prepared- find your niche in terms of what works for you ie. your own way of taking/giving report.

Did Columbia Presbyterian require you to take BSN? Thanks.
