So I work in long term care. I love where I work and all of the staff but have been thinking about a change for more experience and skills. I only graduated a year ago so I'm worried I won't be confident and require a lot of help at first as I haven't had the chance to use certain skills often. I'm also nervous I won't be able to handle or like the faster pace. Any advice to help me transition? Would being on a float team be good or bad?

Float team would be cool, but I would move to a med-surg floor! Lots of chances to use your skills and learn new ones... in a constant environment. Maybe try for float team when you feel that you've got the med-surg stuff down?? Going from LTC to more acute care is a huge transition. Just a suggestion!
