What can i expect at my new job...

Published

Afternoon everyone,

Im starting a new job a week from tomorrow. Im in LPN, passed boards in dec. this will be my first job. Ill be working at a 304 bed hospital in the pulmonary unit. Nurse to patient ratio is 5. Im excited to work there but am a lil. scared =\. I asked my Nurse manager what is expected out of your employers on the pulmonary unit. her answer was kind of vague and that it was a tough unit to work on. I love hard work and i feel that the experience ill get will be great. anyways, what can i expect at a pulmonary unit?... i would like to get a feel from people on this fourm on what types of pt will i be encountering... etc. HELP! :bow:

Sorry to reply with out anyone posting but i just wanted to make it clear i understand what kind of pt ill be getting in pulmonary(obvious) but im trying to figgure out what lvl acuity does a pulmonary unit generally get or am i just anxious and overeacting? =\
