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 as...

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 ...

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!

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. M...

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 que...

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.

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 bi...

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.

I can relate to you! I'm fairly a new nurse I worked Tele for 8 months and moved over to the ER. I have been there for a month now and seriously I'm starting to feel I'm not cut out for it. I feel lost I'm praying it gets better or else I'm going to ...

Tele for 8 mths and now In the ER thankful that a big teaching hospital gave me a chance but boy everyday is a challenge!

Reading this thread has me laughing and smiling. I just started in the ED after doing 8 months in tele. Everyday is a struggle n But I will not be defeated.
