Thank you for taking time to reply here.I appreciate your time and input. Yes I have coworkers who transferred to Acute care.Some took the Residency route, worked at detox and some in the hospital after a year or less of working.I am targetting to hit my 1 year.2-3 months from now I will start applying. How did you start your journey as a Nurse and what are the trainings and skills set that helped you level up? I know we have to start somewhere... Thanks!

Thank you.I am about to hit my 1 year now in a Skilled/Rehab facility here in US working as an RN.With a BSN, I hope I can venture to acute care soon.Thank you so much for your time! I appreciate.

I read your book in one sitting when I met you here online..such an AWESOME book.I highly recommend for students and working nurses.With TONS of golden nuggets and gems. Thank you for your advice.After our conversation, I went to my homeland and worked in the Acute Hospital for 6 months.I worked in MS and after getting adjusted for 2 months I crossed trained in the Emergency Dept and worked in both departments and finished my 6 months.When I came back to US I landed a job in a Skilled Nursing Facility thereafter.Now..I will hit my 1 year this 2021 as a full time day shift Nurse and wanting to level up my career. What advise would you give me to land a job in an Acute Hospital to be able to work in MS or ER or ICU? Thank you so much for your time and I appreciate your advise.I would be glad to hear from you again.

True!

To openly discuss it is a good start. They have great suggestions here for all of us. Slowing down helps you calm down and be more detail oriented.Nursing is such a broad field.It is nice to start strong by reading more books such as fundamentals of nursing, pharmacology and explore on our specialty as we find our niche.And at the clinical area, we need to observe the standard procedure, practice what is safe and later on our speed will just improve as we keep evaluating our performance and mastering the prioritization skills as we keep doing it.It takes months to a year to get more comfortable.You passed NCLEX for a reason...that means u know the basic safe practice.Sometimes, as a new nurse we overthink and overanalyze and that we complicate things.Try to reach out to your friends that you are comfortable working with.There is genius in you.

Thank you so much for your time and reply.This is very helpful.

Thank you.I was not aware of because I was gone for almost a year. Came back just before the lack down.

How is everything? Anyone applied to Swedish Edmonds?

I know this is quite old..Who went to Swedish hospital? How is it working there? How's the support? How's the benefit and the salary? I wanted to move up there..

Glad to hear from you again..She is just a dot in the paper then since majority of the staff are great. How is the training there or the orientation? Super happy to hear you focus more on the best side of the situation. Take care!

I'm sorry to hear about your experience.How are you now? Did you decide to transfer to another area or facility or apply somewhere? I hope you didn't sign any contract.. Thank you for sharing your experience.This will be a heads up for everyone including myself.I hope this will be addressed. I hope you will find a good place to work where people are supportive and happy.It is something we can look forward to no matter how busy and tiring our job is. Take care and thank you!

How's everyone? How is it working there? How's the work environment and the support? How's the pay and the promotion? Hope you guys had a great time there.Thanks!

How was working in Tacoma general? Hows the staff? Is the management supportive of the newly hired Nurses or Staff? How is the pay? Did you guys sign a contract? How long? Thanks a lot!

How are you? Did you pursue this? How was it?
