Ernurse2012

Yes when I use to work on a tele floor we had this and it worked okay depending on who was on your team.

Leaving Med Surge for the ED it will be crazy believe me I know first hand. I did it and now I'm back in Med surge it's crazy in the ED I cried more than I did as a new nurse on med surge!! Hectic environment I sometimes had 10 pts to care for and asking for help from other nurses was hard cause everyone was busy. You hit the ground runni g and never stop! I didn't like it at all.

Great advice but I was not a new grad. I'm sure I still had some growing to do in nursing but I feel free now and will take it as a learning lesson. I do believe new grads can do well in the ED some are stronger than others!

I was not a new grad.

Seriously you guys rock thanks so much I have some things lined up so God willing I will be back to working soon!

Nope I was just told I wasn't a good fit and cannot manage patients effectively.nI never went thru anything like this so I'm not sure if I have to report this to the board of nursing. I was told when I complete my renewal for licensure one of the questions would be were u ever forced to resign. I'm worried doesnt that look bad on me.

Thanks everyone I'm resigning was told I'm too slow can't keep up the pace and not meeting orientation standards so I'm gone, better luck next time.

And I was asked to resign. Seems I'm too slow and can't keep up the pace in the ER. Nobody seems to want to help me move to another dept so I'm kicked out the whole hospital. Guess that's what I get for transferring to the ED so early in my career. Man I feel defeated was In bed for days but now back to the drawing board time to put on my big girl pants and hope to find another job. Do I have to report this to the BON that I was forced to resign and I didn't pass my orientation.

I'm one of the new Ed nurses and I feel the same way u do and I've only been at my job for three months. I'm already looking for a new job.

I agree different strokes for different folks :)

I plan on calling a meeting soon but they know I'm struggling. There is no reason for me to stay other than trying to stick it out for exp and resume purposes.

I'm actually at another hospital I didn't transfer within this is a whole new job and facility for me.

Yes my first job was Tele, and then I move to the ED. I'm working at huge teaching hospital with a very busy ER, everyone has been telling me give it a year. I'm going to try my best. I am not a quitter I just feel so lost and overwhelmed like the biggest loser. I need to gain some confidence and start reading some ER books. Thanks to all of U for your advice!!

Hello fellow nurses I'm in need of some advice. I started in the ER in May after leaving a tele floor for 8 months. I needed a change and wanted to advance and challenge myself. I'm having a tough time transitioning. I have even thought about asking for my old job back. I was really good and comfortable at my old job but it wasn't much growth where I was. Now I'm ready to jump ship. I feel like I don't fit it in where I work, I'm slow, having a tough to time moving with the pace and prioritizing. Does it look bad on my resume to look for another job??

I need to read this book. I was a new grad spent 8mths in tele got very good at and then decided to move to the Ed. I'm lost it's like starting all over again.
