Thank you for the input!

Basically every patient hits the big red nurse button and every call comes to you. You then decide whether to toilet every patient, bring water, turn off the light, etc every call or attempt to reach an aide. I preferred the calls going to the desk and then routed by a secretary.

Hi everyone, I am transferring to the ICU this week and couldn't be more excited. I'm also nervous. I'm a fast learner and don't require much direction, but I'm more nervous about not fitting in. I know med surg nurses can be looked down on. I would love any general advice for helping to make this transition!

i work as a pca on a tele/med surg floor, but i decided to pick up at another location and they put me on the imc unit. can anyone tell me their experience with working on the imc or what your typical day on that unit would consist of? i know it is a step down from the icu, but i still don't know what to expect...
