You are a new grad and safety is first. ED is a very swift unit and things are always moving and changing. So you have to be able to think and act quickly but always safety first. Getting use to it takes sometime, and you have to learn to prioritize ! It's a matter of finding what works for you and practicing it. One thing that I use to do was on my down time when it was quiet, I would familiarize myself with everything and store in my long term memory where things were located. Don't be afraid to delegate, because it will make your job a lot easier. Reflect on what you as a person like: If you don't like fast past and steady change, then the ED may not before you. Another thing that helped me was that I had several years of Meg-Surg experience before tackling the ER. In med-surg you assessment and time managment skills are developed and the ER is a breeze then. So since you have not had any previous nursing the ED may feel very overwhelming. Don't stress it's takes a while for a nurse to find there niche.

I am currently enrolled in the program and expect to graduate this Fall. It is a very good program and I think it is centered around the working RN. There are no lectures. All your assigments are online and they are spaced out so that were you have time to work on them and turn them in.

Congratulations!.........What did you do with your books? Are you interested in getting rid of them? One last question, Did you have to write alot of papers?

Hello, I plan to move this Summer to some part of Dallas, Texas. I am now living in MS, were the pay sucks if you are not an RN. I am also in school trying to get all my pre-classes out of the way for RN school. I am curious about pay for LPN/LVN in Texas. I have been a LPN for 3 years and have work Med/Surg; Long Term Care and ER. I am also IV certified. Would someone in Texas quote me a price range or if their is any difference. I am currently making $12.24 in the hospital working Med/ Surg and ER.
