I am a new RN - graduated Dec. 2007 and have been working on a cardiac/tele floor since February 2008. I will be training into the cardiac ICU probably in the next 2-3 months. I am also ACLS certified. I am looking to move, possibly by the end of the year/beginning of next year, and want to look at applying for ER jobs because thats where I have always wanted to work. I am wondering when I should consider taking TNCC and/or PALS? I saw on the ENA website that they recommend at least 6 mo. emergency/critical care experience before taking the class. If I take it in September or November (I will have about 8/10 months experience then) is that too soon? I want to get all I can out of the class, and not feel out of place/too overwhelmed. Any advice on the route I should take?? Thanks!
