I'll be starting in the Neuro ICU in a few weeks. I only have experience in the ER and MICU/SICU -- don't have much experience in neuro. But I love to read and research. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on some literature I could dig into for a brief crash course and introduction to neuro...? Thanks!

You can either gtfo - because no job is worth your happiness. Or, get a voice and learn to use it. You shouldn't ever allow anyone to talk to you like that or treat you like that. Nursing is a team effort and if you have *** teammates then you need to straight up tell them to their face...tell them that they are creating a dangerous work environment for the patients.

Hey all, I graduated with my BSN in June, started working full-time on a busy med-surg/cardiac unit. I've spoke to multiple co-workers who have years of traveling experience but I'm looking for some more advice and opinions. I've got several questions... 1. Is 12 months experience enough or would you recommend more? 2. How much money do you recommend having saved to start off with? (I don't want to get on the road and end up with financial difficulties) 3. Do you find that the staff you work with are receptive to travelers or just dismiss them because they're the "new kid"? 4. What agencies do you recommend and why? (I've researched quite a few but I'm not entirely sure what makes them good or not) 5. What are some things about traveling you wish you had known before you started? Any other words of wisdom are greatly appreciated! I only have a few months under my belt right now so I've got about 8-9 months left before I'm eligible but I figure it's never too late to start researching my options. Thanks for the input! Kelsey
