I am going to do a big transition in my nursing career. After working 2 years right off school in a 102 bed-long termn hospital where everybody knows you and your busines; I am going to a 800-bed teaching hospital! I am so scared and anxious. First because I get lost when I get there, 2nd I forgot how acute hospital are, the fast pace, the residents. My biggest concern is the paperwork and charting. We had computer charting and that's all I know. GOSH! I hate having this fear. Isn't it hard when you are so comfortable in one place!!?? however I am leaving because I do want to learn more, the big hospital offers classes all the time and for free.
I work for a teaching hospital and the environment is great. It's very collegial (sp?) with the residents- I find it to be very teamwork oriented. It's great to be asked for your opinion/advice by the residents about your patients. Really makes you feel like you are a part of the team. I hope you like it!
