I recently moved from being a telemetry nurse for 4 years to a L & D nurse. I came right out of school onto a telemetry floor. Its all I know. I moved to a new city and thought it was time for a change and the hospital im at now was willing to train. Its been 3 weeks and Im not sure I like it. I dont know if its because its different and foreign to me or because its not my thing. I miss the "older" patient population i cared for in telemetry and the familiarity of it all. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Your right...we can do this and it helps to know there are others in the same boat. Thank you for your reply. Hope we can stay in touch and help each other out. I will try to get on here every few days with an update. Kelly

I just don't like feeling like an idiot sometimes, and i don't want to miss something on someone that could be critical.

New RN...working on a med/surg/tele floor. In an intern program and have a preceptor over me. I feel frozen......maybe not feeling confident enough. I dont know. I have the " deer in the headlight" look sometimes. I just feel like i should know more. I worked so hard over the last 2 years, and i am saying "now what?! Any advice?

Great advice....thanks so much. I especially want to work on assertiveness and the not feeling guilty when saying no. I feel like printing it out and putting it on my mirror to read every morning! Kelly:grad:
