Are you pulled to other floors to work? At my facility, we are, once we are three months off of orientation. The only nurses in the hospital who are not pulled are ER nurses. I think ICU is at least just as specialized as ER, and I don't think we should be pulled. I am newer to ICU and have spent the last six months trying to think like a critical care nurse. Totally messed with my chi the other night to be pulled to a telemetry floor and have eight patients (for the first time in my career). I am feeling a bit dejected because I feel like I didn't give great nursing care to any one of them. Just hoping for some encouragement or advice. I love my job but a steady diet of this would make me look for a different one...
