I agree with jrooks22 comments. I started as a new grad in the ED 7 years ago. The advice I took when I was a new grad and I still hold true today is to throw your pride out the door. Never be afraid to admit (to yourself) when you don't know something and always ask questions. You'd be surprised how many people will help if you just ask. Working in the ED is tuff and its impossible to know everything. ask ask ask. I still like to pick the doctors brains on their rationale for doing what they do. I also like to be in the room when the internal medicine examines the patient or when the specialist is in the room (cards, neuro, pulm, etc). even after all these years I still find myself doing things for the first time. congrats on getting hired. I love the ED and wouldn't work in any other dept.
