Thank you ! I appreciate your feedback ?

Looking for feedback opinions on jobs in different ICU’s. My hospital has several.. MICU/sicu.. trauma ,cvicu, neuro etc. I love cardiac and want to learn more so I was leaning towards the cvicu.. but there is also a float pool which I thought might be a way to learn a lot across the board, make myself more marketable in the future should the opportunity arise. I did read a post about floating between icus which did give me some insight.. thinking it wouldnt be bad to settle into one unit and going from there. Does anyone think its better to start off in say a MICU/sicu to get the critical care fundamentals down and then eventually go to cvicu? Or will I see a range of things in the cvicu not just limited to cardic related pts? Im in no rush to make a move .. currently in med surg now still learning something new every day I just kind of want an idea so if the opportunity presents itself I won’t hesitate. Thank you and I appreciate the feedback in advance !

Hello, looking for some tips to leading a unit as a charge nurse, organization and communication tips and tricks. Im considering applying to a charge position and looking for other ideas to excel within the position other than the ones I've witnessed as a staff nurse. thanks

I cant DM for whatever reason but my ig is l.a_nutrix8117

Hi! So since that post I actually lost the per diem acutes job at the hospital after like 5 shifts..they were bought out by a contract with Davita ? so after that happened I decided to cross within fresenius Because I didn't want to start over completely somewhere else- and depending on the location u have to do crazy amount of orientation. The first site I've been training at is a rehab.. so even tho it’s considered “acutes” its not the pts are stable similar to Chronics.. im hoping my next site is at an actual hosp. The difference mostly is the documenting system.. u can have 1 or 2 pts at a time and u document q 15 mins ..plus being in a place that u don't with ppl who don't know u or dialysis is different. At its core dialysis is dialysis.. once your comfortable with that then I think everything else is a small learning curve. I've been looking for Dialysis ppl to network with.. let me know if your interested ill give u my IG !

Definitely. Look into fresenius! What state are u in? I'm in Mass, looking to make some more contacts/network in dialysis. PM or email me!

what company do you work for? I had 6 mo experience and I landed an acutes per diem job, even though its taken some time with the process and already having a ft time. I don't think the 1 yr rule is set in stone, it was probably a suggestion on a time frame, but by the time you have everything all set up you will be at 1 yr already anyways!

I'm looking for any advice/tips on going from outpatient to acute hd. I'm currently a staff nurse in an output clinic for a little over 6mos now ( nurse for almost 3 yrs with some hospital and community health exp), and i landed a per diem job in a hospital inpt hd unit. I know there are obv differences, just looking for a little more details so i have an idea of what to expect. greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry if this is a repeat question, i tried to read through most of the threads... 3 questions-1. i know the no cellphone policy at work but yet everyone keeps on their body, outta site outta mind kind of thing.. how strict is that ? and can you wear a watch...lastly a coworker mentioned to me about getting tele certified if i want to be in the OR? how valid is that?...thank you

not to sound like a b.. but i think your preceptors are not very good ones, esp to let that get back to you and to comment after only 3 wks .. ridiculous!

i think a lot of doctors are d-heads lol regardless of specialty...but I've worked as a secretary for surgeons in an office and they are definitely a different breed !

thanks for the comment, been a nurse a little over a yr now, first 6mo was on a med surg floor but it was overall an awful experience and i ended up leaving to go to community health center in adult medicine...needless to say i do no love it, i like some of my coworkers and the job itself is not hard but its definitely not tickling my fancy. i need more of a clinical aspect...and I've always wanted to specialize but I'm trying to take my time to find the right job for me because i don't want to switch jobs for a long time.

thank you for the link!
