New ER Nurse

Specialties Emergency

Published

Hi everyone! I just got a job in ER working 7p-7a. This is my first journey into ER. I worked for just over a year as an LPN in neuro/neurosurg and for just over 6 months as an RN on neuro/nurosurg/trauma. I sent in my resume for kicks even though the ad said they wanted experience in ER, but I got the job anyways!!! The nurse manager said I am only the second person she has hired without crit care or ER experience in her 6 years there. So, I know I'm in for a challenge, but that's what I'm looking for. I start hospital orientation for 2 days on Monday, then to the department.

Just wanted to say hi to everyone!!!

Elizabeth, RN
