I'm a new grad nurse and I just started a job in a big name teaching hospital on a very busy med-surg floor about a month ago. I like it a lot but I honestly don't love it. However, I do everything with a smile and with a sense of urgency. I've never worked in a busier place in my whole life. This place is like a factory with the swarms of doctors and their orders and the influx of patients. I thought I was doing a bad job, but apparently some people think I'm doing great and I actually got asked if I was interested in doing Tele. I've been able to progress pretty rapidly and smoothly.
Please help me get it! I have a test to take in a couple days and I really want this opportunity. What are the things I can expect on this test? What meds are likely to be on it? What are some nursing interventions I should know?
Please help me wise and experienced nurses. I started reviewing strips and my ACLS stuff. I'm kind of freaking out but I'm determined to pass that test. I'm really grateful to have a job as a new grad in this med-surg unit, but I think my style and personality as a nurse would make me a better fit in a critical care unit. This hospital is known in the country for hearts. It would be amazing to be a part of that.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate all the advice, tips, wisdom you can offer.
