Hi everyone, I need some advice. After I graduated from nursing school I was unable to get into med/surg nursing however I was lucky to get a job at skilled nursing facility working as subacute rehab nurse for past few years. Now I'm trying to get back into med/surg nursing however is still hard to get in as they asked for experience. I'm thinking about going to agency/travel nurse which it will be more easy to get in. My concern is that will I able to cope/manage with the transition of subacute rehab nurse to med/surg nurse. Is there much different in subacute rehab nurse and med/surg nurse. Is busy on my floor ratio 1:18. Still not computerized in charting. Is it a many steps jumps and will end up falling as agency will not provide weeks of orientation. Is it too risky? Thank you!
