Hey TurnforthenurseRN, Thank You for sharing your experience, and suggestions. I'm going to talk to my director about being a part of the float pool, just have to make sure I don't go over my hours. I can explore, and already have a foot in the door. I'm in a small hospital, so I am going to check into the closest teaching hospital as well.

Hi, I've been doing Emergency Nursing for about 13 years. I've been blessed in this arena with fantastic employers, training, and coworkers. I'm 48, and ready to try something new. I'm finding with my specialized training, I apply for an unrelated position, yet receive callbacks asking if I'd be interested in working in their ER departments. Seems I'm experiencing reverse new grad descrimination. I've never done Med-Surg, Cardiac, etc and would welcome an internship type situation if it were available. I'm a Nurse very content with being a Nurse. I've done the Director/Management thing enough to know, I do not want to do it again. I love direct Patient care, and am very content with Nursing in this capacity. I would just like an opportunity to learn some new tricks! Has anyone found themselves in a similar situation? If so, I would love the feedback. Thanks So Much
