Ok, thank you all! I am going to renew it tonight.

I have a question about malpractice insurance. Do you guys think it's a good idea to purchase our own (like through NSO)? I had my own for the past year since I've been working in an office rather than a hospital, but now that I'll soon be in a hospital I'm not sure if I should renew it or not. I've heard some people say it's always a good idea to have our own. I've also heard some people say not to buy it because people could go after us if something happens rather than the hospital. Any advice is appreciate :)

Thanks for your input everyone! I am very nervous but anxious to start. I've learned a lot at my present job, but I know it's time to get on a unit where I'll really be challenged. I feel very comfortable at my current job, but I want to learn/do a lot more than I am now. One of my best friends has been on the same unit for a few months now and said most days are good and the manager is great. I just can't wait to finally be in a hospital even though I know it will be tough.

Thank you for your help and encouragement! Good luck at your new job too!

I have my ACLS and after I start I have to get certified in the NIH stroke scale. I will likely do a dysrhythmia course on my own. Thanks for your input!

Hi Everyone! I'm an RN who graduated with my BSN last May. Since July, I've been working in an orthopedic office. In a few weeks I'm leaving there to start a full-time job on a neuro-telemetry unit (night shift). Does anyone have an advice on how to best make this transition to a much more acute setting and completely different shifts? I'm very excited and nervous. Has anyone worked on a neuro-tele unit? What is it like? When I mention it, most people say they've never heard of a unit that wasn't just neuro or just telemetry. Thanks so much for any advice!!
