  1. Hello! I have been looking through so many topics and specialties. There have been some useful threads, but some have not been commented on in years. I have been interviewing for an RN position in the Urgent Care Department of a large hospital with an extremely busy ED. We work side by side with the ED, that is why I am posting in this specialty. I have accepted the offer and just waiting for the final paperwork to go through before I am 100% certain that I have the position. I graduated from Nursing School in May of 2014 and completed a six-month internship in the ICU, so I am still fairly new. Any words of wisdom, advice or what to expect during my shift would be amazing. I would think to expect a lot of sprained joints, UTI's, coughs, colds, flu, strep, STIs along with scenarios where we would have to transfer to the ED. What are some topics that I should brush up on before orientation, besides lab values and vital signs, etc. Because this is not a free-standing clinic, I was not getting a lot of advice from the Ambulatory/Clinic nursing forums. Thank you in advance for any advice,expectations, links, forums, books that you send my way. I am extremely excited and nervous at the same time.
