Hi Kathi,:trout: It is normal for you to feel worried but you have an excellent background at your advantage. I started working on a med/tele floor three months ago and I was worried. I had never worked in tele, I was mainly in psyche. It is challenging but rewarding especially if you have supportive co-workers. I trust you will have someone there to laugh and frown with when the tough gets going. Just focuss on your strengths and take small steps one day at a time:balloons:

I quess nursing in all specialty is the same everywhere as nurses shortage increases. At my hospital they try to maintain a 6 to 1 ratio. However, as the holiday and hurricane season approaches nurses are taking vacations and agency nurses are resting? But where are nurses going it is an international crises. Telemetry nursing is interesting, it offers maximum experiences and positive outcomes. I think straight tele floors might be less hectic unlike med or surg/tele which most time donot have patients on monitor they are admiited for mulitple other reasons. Anyone in just telemetry? if so what is your take on this?

Hi everyone, I started working on a med/tele floor three months ago and I am finding it rough. There is so much to do. Is it the same where you are?
