As a beginning nurse, you should start wherever you are interested. There is no correct place to "start" as a nurse to get experience, with the nursing shortage these days--you just gotta jump in and go. Just remember that you are a new nurse, and you should act as such. New grads that act like they been a nurse for 20 years and no it all just aren't welcomed anywhere! Good luck!

Our facility has no guidelines for discharging from icu directly. It really just depends on the patient and how sick they were. Insurance is not going to pay for more hospital days when they don't have to. Besides, our units see a lot of tele overflow because those floors are full, so of course we discharge tele overflow to home.
