in response to what my first year has been like. i work on 1 of 2 of the busiest floors in the second busiest hospital in mississippi. although my floor is suppose to be primarily ortho, i will often instead get every other kind of patient. our floor is also the overflow floor for all the other areas of the hospital, so we get every type of patient there is. if you dont learn fast, work hard, and know what your doing; you dont make it there. i have spoken with several co-workers who were travel rn's for years, and they all say i am more then proficeint. the very first day of orientation i was told if you could make it through six months of the floor i was going to i could go anywhere. i feel confident that i can work most floors with little or no orientation.
