I would send them an email and remind them your qualities and how you can contribute to the unit as a whole. Also include how u enjoyed the interview and want to learn more in this field... Good Luck.

Congratulations..... I can only hope I love it.....

Thank you for the much needed wonderful advice..... I take them to heart and will always cherish them...

My gut always tells me right, hope I follow it at all time.... Thank you for the advice...

My orientation period will be 3 months. My supervisor told me if I am doing really good it might end sooner but I want to take advantage of the entire time. They will assess me on the rhythms to see where I stand maybe put me in a class for improvement. I am trying to read, listen to audio lectures and find as much materials I can find to help me be prepared and not pull out my hair especially with terms and procedures that I am not used to see or do.....

Thank you Suzie for your encouragement....

Hi Esme 12.... I don't have any monitoring skills but had taken the Arrhythmia class on my last year of nursing school... It's been awhile that I've seen rhythms. I had taken ACLS,PALS about 2years ago just for my own knowledge but have not used it since it wasn't required for my unit and when we get a code or rapid response, the icu RN will come in to take the lead.... I will utilize the link given. Thank you for your support...

Congratulations and good luck in your career......

Thank you for the words of wisdom.... You just confirmed my thoughts of feeling like a new grad once again... I hope I love it too. Everyone on my current unit is so excited for me... And telling me I will be just fine.... I am still scared but I guess some fear is normal especially when it's a new and different environment that I am used to.... I am researching materials and started my readings to be as prepared as possible.... Thanks again for the support....

Thank you so much for your feedback.... I will review as much as I can and follow your recommendation.... I hope I love it too!!!!

Hi everyone, I am not a new RN. I worked in a Med/Surg unit for 2 years and I will be starting a new job in the Emergency Room as of May. I always wanted to work in a critical care/ emergency setting because I enjoy the constant learning aspect and variety of disease process that this field brings in. Needless to say, I am excited and scared of this new environment. I was researching for extra materials that could help me ease my transition and found this blog. Thank you for sharing your stories and giving newbies like me advice for continuing our journeys. P.S. Any advice is welcome so I can be as prepared as I can for my first day.
