I transferred into a Level one ER after 6 months experience in an Intermediate Medical Care. The types of patients I took care of there were to sick to be on a med surg floor and not sick enough to be on the ICU. This I felt like was the perfect floor to built my experience especially know knowing and seeing what I see every day. The majority of the patients that we admit to our hospital at IMC worthy patients. I feel like for the ER minus Traumas and Recess patients this was the best place to start. ICU teaches you intubated patient care and the IMC teaches you continuity of care and family support. Just suffer through and put your time in the ICU or IMC, just something a little more critical than the floor and come play down in the ER.

There was no accident involved they pulled mo over doing 45 in a 35 outside of a 45 zone and unfortunately I had made a horrible decision that night to drive instead of letting the girl I was with drive.

I need someones help really bad and quick. I work as an RN in Florida in the ER and as of last week was convicted of a DUI Misdemeanor that I receive in August of 11. I have heard numerous things about reporting to the BON and to my Hospital before they find out and fire me things like that. Nothing that I read seems to point in one right direction as far as reporting and getting in the IPN or what to do first. What I am wondering is if anyone out there is or has been in my situation and can give me some advise that would be awesome. What do I do? Thank you for reading my post and any info would be greatly appriciated
