Greetings Fellow Travellers

I am on the my third travel assignment, and I am nervous as heck! I have been on the assignment for a few weeks now-been on the floor x5-so far, ok. Paper charting in the ER. In a few more weeks the facility is going computer (cerner) which seems quite cumbersome and I am freaked out! I am not particularly computer savy-and I literally run all 12 hours now so I am wondering how in the heck I am going to be able to do my pt load and learn this new computer system. Intellectually I know that everyone else will be there too but Im still trying to figure out where everything is much less how to open the computer chart. I know I will get through this-there is no choice, but I just wanted to get it out there.....I'm nervous! Anyone else have to change like this? This assignment was so I could be with my daughter in California-she just had a 28 week baby (2lbs even and holding her own) and this was going to be my "adventure" so, here goes the adventure.......ha.

I am about to start a travel spot that just uses paper charting in their ED. I am thinking the opposite, give me my computer!
