I did not have any evaluation except the last day of orientation and even then there was only vague comments about being part of The team. I asked my preceptor what wAs specific to me and she said that all of his comments where things that he tells everyone. I have a couple interviews set up with the PCU and with the ED. During my original picking the ED was my second choice. I ultimately would like to transfer to the icu after a year or two again but maybe another unit close by at the same hospital system.

I'm looking for some help here, I was just recently hired as a new grad in the ICU. I went through my 3month orientation and had a good time and felt that I was doing great with the patients on the unit. The time came to come off orientation and I worked a week before I was called in and asked to move to a step down unit. My NM told me that I had been struggling and that he was not able to invest anymore money into my orientation. The first week I was given 3 patients twice which included 2 vented patients on sedation at the same time. I will admit I was slightly overwhelmed but by the end of the week I was feeling great. I had made no mistakes and was taken off guard. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen or have any advice for my particular situation.
