Hello my Fellow Nurses,
I am wanting some advice on how to best device an email to my managers and potential manager about my desire to step down from ICU and go into our hospitals' SDU? I am a new graduate (about to complete my first year) and went straight into SICU/MICU after graduation. My anxiety has slightly improved, but I still feel that knot in my stomach before every shift. It has been a rollercoaster of emotions ever since the beginning but even more so now with the increased demand d/t COVID. I feel like I'm just completing tasks more than learning and I just cant continue to run like this. I felt it best to move to our step down unit and build my base. Should I send an email to my current managers only or also include my potential manager from the SDU about my desire? (keep in mind that I have been denied a transfer once before d/t COVID)
Thank you,
Overwhelmed ICU nurse
