New Grad Struggles Want Psych Nursing

[KenyakeoniRN]

I am in need of advice. I'm a new grad who works on a Cardiac floor and I absolutely hated it. It is not for me and I found this out after working eight shifts on this floor. I am at a point where I don't know what type of nursing I want to do but I know it's not this. I don't like having patients that are acute. Some patients run V tach and v-fib and I just hate dealing with that it scares me. I love my patients I love passing meds assessments but when it comes to cardiac it just lose me. I'm just not sure if traditional nursing is my thing. What do I do in this situation I've been looking at transferring to a psych floor but I don't know if that's possible if I've only been there for 2 weeks . I did Psych Clinicals 3 semesters and i LOVED it. Should I stick it out and stay severely unhappy, Or should I search for other jobs someone please help.

If you like psych go to psych. Psych pt's need good nurses who want to be there. I left critical care after a few months because I knew it was not for me and went to psych. When you know, you know. It's scary being a new grad, and yes it's hard to get back into a hospital if that's what you want, but not impossible. I left my unit on good terms, I think a manger would rather know now then 3-6 months in after they have invested a ton of time in you. Good luck and get your job!
