Tech to Nurse

[jensdandy]

This is my first post. Just took my final exit exam for nursing school and will be waiting on the BNE so that I can schedule my NCLEX. I have been working as a tech in an ER while attending nursing school. I will be working in the ER as a Nurse once I have passed the NCLEX. I am a little nervous with the upcoming roll change and wonder how the staff will deal with it. Any advice on how this situation and how to make it easier for all involved?

By the way...love reading all the information on this site!

I was also an ER Tech and have just finished nursing school. I have choosen to completely go to another ER because I know for certain that many women and men on the staff will give me a hard time and it will be very difficult for me to transition from tech to nurse in that environment. I think change is good, I will start off with a clean slate.
