okay, so basically i have the same story as the others. unemployed, struggling to get a job. but i have this feeling that i'm about to land one. so for the new grads out there fresh on the floor, or even experienced nurses who can remember what it's like being a newbie, can YOU help by telling us what are the responsibilities that we, as new grads, are expected to do??
such as medications, admitting, discharge, EKG. whatever. any procedure that you all can think of. i'm just afraid that i'll mess up something i'm asked to do that i'm unaware of. i won't take the risk, and i would ask before i do anything. but i just want to know what are the things that new nurses are expected to know/do.
catheter.. CPT? .. blood samples, IV?
i'm an international nurse and i have never seen nurses here work =[ .. i know the procedures aren't very different but i still want to know what to expect.
hoping for anyone's advice. please HELP.
thanks in advance!
