I've been an ED nurse of two years now and going to start traveling. I just had a few questions regarding this. First being as a travel nurse will they place you in the Triage area or do they keep that for staff nurses, also along that question would you also get assigned to trauma bays? Or are you kind of treated like a float nurse and just get low acuity patients. Also do you get canceled ofter in the ED or do they usually have you work all of your shifts? Any other advice to tips would be great too :) Thanks.

Going to be working at a summer camp up in maine for the first time this summer. Hopefully my two years in the ED have prepared me well enough :). Excited to be working back at a summer camp again but in a different roll this time.

So I've been thinking about going into travel nursing for a little while now. My current nursing experience if have is 6 months working on a med/surg and ofter pulled to tele and about 4 month of ED experience. Currently have only my ADN but in 6 months should have my BSRN. I was wondering if I have enough experience to be a candidate for travel nursing or should I stay where I'm at. Idealy when I travel I would love to stay in the ED environment but pretty open.

I'm going to be doing some relief at a summer camp and will also be the head councilor at the camp during my non relief shifts. This will be the first time working in the medical field for humans. Have been a nurse for animals for the past 9 years. I was just wondering on what are some of the things I can expect to see and what is usually in the nurse's ability to go about treatment for the kids. Such as having standing orders or am I covered giving medications as long as they are over the counter. I'm sure I will be able to talk to the nurses while I'm there about these questions but just wanted a heads up so I know what to expect. Thanks

Hey PatGCastro I saw your message from switching from day class to night class. I happen to be in the night class and need to switch to the day class cause of work. They told me that if I can find someone to switch they would do it for me. Shoot me an e-mail if this works for you. My e-mail is [email protected]. Hopefully this works out great for both of us!
