How do you like working in the ED?

Hi guys!

I recently got hired into the float pool at a huge hospital system in my city. I have been a CNA for 1 year, but I have only worked at a Rehab for a couple months and currently at an assisted living facility on top of the hospital.

I had my last day of floor orientation at the hospital in the ER. God what a horrible day! The nurses were very very nice, but my preceptor was NOT a good teacher... I guess I shouldn't say I absolutely hate the ER, but having a preceptor like mine, did not make me love it. Half the time I could not find him and when I did find him, he gave me no direction at all and would turn around and walk the other way. I thought, "well god should I follow him like a lost puppy dog or what!?." I did get to practice a few EKG's which was great.

Are any of you working as CNA's in the ER and if so, how do you like it? I might add that there were only a few CNA's in the ER, and the remaining were not actually CNA's. They were considered "techs" but had EMT experience.

    I sometimes get called to the ER to help but it is rare. I don't mind helping and in most cases, I just wait for the nurses or providers to tell me what they need me to do. Usually it's just taking a patient to a room for admission or helping them to the bathroom.
