I'm confused. Do you want us to call your supervisor or something?

no, i think the OP just needed to vent haha...Med/Surg is tough, but doable. Just tell yourself its just 1 day. You can do it!
If you all have any helpful tips please leave them here.

Bring a nursing "brain sheet", where you can organize all your tasks and pt. info. I'm sure you'll do fine :)
Thanks all! I am one of the supervisors for er and sicu, I just offered to help the m/s supervisor because she called me, because shes short, but this is the unit where I have sent some of my ed nurses and they come back horrified so I dont know, all I know is I am floating up there tuesday night. Thanks for letting me vent!Rod Rn, Bsn

Ask the nurses there if you can borrow one of their brain sheets... theirs is probably set up to work with the flow of the unit already.

I just thought it funny how when I "dreaded" a certain area- it usually went smooth! All the really nail-biting, and clocking out totally numb and frazzled came unexpectedly when I thought, "Heck yeah I'll go work _____________."

It's called karma. You sent your ducklings there to be eaten by the big bad beast it's only fair it nibbles on you a bit too ^^. You'll probably do fine just relax and look very sweet that usually helps :)
