I'm currently in orientation on a med/surg floor, about a month in. I was previously nurse at a doctors office for 5 months. Well, I know med/surg is NOT where I want to be. I'm only planning to stay for about 6mo-1yr to get some experience. After 6 mo we can transfer anywhere in the hospital. I LOVE postpartum, mother baby, and L&D. But I'm really wanting to be a pp nurse and hopefully cross train in the other areas.
PP Nurses:
What's it like being a pp nurse?
What is a typical day like?
How many patients do you usually have?
Do any of you have certs or specialized in this area?
