Hi all!
I am just looking for some input, I feel like I'm ready to start travel nursing but before I make the jump I'd like to hear from others what their thoughts are. When I graduated nursing school I started at a trauma 1 teaching hospital in a surgical cardiac vascular thoracic trauma ICU. We moved to a new unit and became a cardiovascular thoracic ICU with a connected sister step down unit. I have been there in the ICU for almost 16months. I was started as a preceptor and as a charge nurse prior to my one year. I'm confident making decisions for my patients, and I always try to take our sickest patients on the unit. I'm comfortable with pressors, intubations, codes, and basic nursing skills among other things such as devices (iabp's, CRRT, & LVAD's.
I guess I just need reassurance that I can handle travel nursing, or pointers to get me ready.
Thanks everyone!
