The float pool nurses are required to float to 5 floors (medical, surgical, rehab, cardiovascular, and behavioral health). We receive orientation on each of these 5 floors and extended orientation if a new grad. I feel comfortable in these areas and will not have to float to ICU or ER If I do not want to.
I have been working as a CNA in the float pool for three years. I really enjoy floating and really would like to stay in the float pool when I graduate with my RN in May. I feel my experience may help, but am slightly anxious about continuing to float as a new grad. Please share advise or experiences with this.
