I am assuming that you are working in an ED correct? If so, I would have told the physician that if he needs that urgent of an update on a patients status he could have gone to the patients bedside and assessed them himself rather than pulling you away from your other patients to go find him. That just seems demanding and passive aggressive. I also come from an ED where our physicians have a track record of not reassessing their patients, not updating them on test results, even not telling them they are being admitted. Its very frustrating.

Just curious to see the lengths of orientation for other ERs out there, and how they have their nurses progress throughout orientation. Our orientation for our new grads is 16 weeks, and orientation for experienced nurses is 12 weeks. Does this seem about standard? Do any other ERs have longer orientations?

Hello, I have recently been looking into studying for the CEN exam. I bought the book endorsed by ENA, but was also hoping for some suggestions for good question banks to gauge my readiness. Hoping that someone who may have recently taken the exam could give me some pointers on preparing for it. Thanks!
