   Calling in the “On Call” person when someone calls out

   Ginger27 replied to Ginger27's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you everyone! That’s what I was thinking also but my coworker insisted on it that it was true. There’s no formal policy for it so I wasn’t sure myself. I’m new to the on call world!

   Ginger27 replied to Ginger27's topic in General Nursing

   Haven’t hit my year yet and my hospital won’t let you do ICU without 1 year med surg (we’re a tiny hospital). Plus I just became the scheduler for my floor - That would look bad too, leaving after not finishing even one schedule ?

   Med/Surg to ICU

   Ginger27 replied to Ginger27's topic in General Nursing

   Ginger27 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I’ve been a nurse since August of 2019. I have always wanted to do ICU but wanted to get my year of med/surg in. I’ve been thinking about making an internal transfer in November/December of 2020. My med/surg unit does do tele and I have my ACLS al...
