Float Pool Info

When I was in school I worked as an LPN in the float pool. Our facility is pretty strict about what LPNs can do even though the state BON says LPN's can do almost everything a RN can do so with that being said, I never got to float to the ER as a LPN. I did however get to float between the 4 Medsurg floors that had their own subspecialties. Before I accepted the LPN float pool job, I spent the previous 3 1/2 years on a medsurg unit at a different facility (that let us practice to our full license capacity) and would often get moved to the stepdown unit which I absolutely loved. I think it's PREFERRED that float pool applicants have some sort of experience but the facility I currently work at offers float pool positions to new grad nurses which to me would be terrifying as a new nurse. ? Heck even though I had floor experience, I was still scared. LOL! I just passed my boards for RN in December and am starting my fulltime float pool position which opens me up to the entire hospital so I'm feeling the terror again. Hahaha!
