I'm in the process of getting an MBA. We shall see where that takes me.

I am a med surg nurse at heart but I did dive into the ER realm and I love it. All of that med surg thought process goes out the window. Your skills will be appreciated, but you will have to think quickly and shift your mindset. If you are ready and willing to make some adjustments, you will enjoy the ER!

Consider looking for a nurse residency program so that you can learn new nursing skills in a controlled, nurturing, learning environment. I'm sure you are not gaining meaningful experiences because you are running like a chicken with no head. Focus that fearful energy into looking for another job opportunity. When you do look for another job, do your research on the facility to make sure that they have a real orientation program. Now that you have experienced a bad orientation, you are in a good position to ask the appropriate questions on what you should be gaining in experience as a new nurse. Good Luck! You got this!

Oh yeah do not forget to darken the room the best you can. I bought specialized window treatments to make sure my room was extra dark.

1. Turn off all cell phones/house phones 2. Explain to all family members that you are a night shift nurse and to respect your sleep 3. If you work two days back to back, when you come home the second day, do not sleep all day. Try to sleep until approx 12 than get up and try to resume a normal day schedule. Try not to sleep that entire day because it will throw you off. 4. Eventually, you will figure out what works for you but those are the top things to remember. Enjoy! I love night shift.
