      @@julegonzalez1196 not true! If anything, what happened with me is I got offered a position in PCU which is basically step down ICU and they told me I can transition to ICU or ER after a year. So you might have to start off in a step down or even med-surg/tele unit, but there is always the option to transfer, you're not stuck forever!

      @sallyjane8274 LOL, how ironic. I'm actually at work now. Holy crap, can't believe it's been 4 years. I came along way. Started on Medsurge Tele, did some Trauma ICU (bad idea), some traveling. How do I feel now? I've taken care alot of patients, made great memories. Still at bedside nursing BUT I do plan on exiting nursing in 6 years or less. But nursing have done a lot for me and my family. I have seen and done so much in 4 years where nothing fazes me anymore. Love helping the community but nursing is stressful. Once I pay off my house, im out.

    Heading to my 5th week of training and going night shift. During day shift, I struggled with giving my meds on time and knowing what to say to the doctors, these doctors don’t want to hear SBAR. They interrupt me anytime I start with SBAR. And they talk so fast. I need a pre-script (besides the SBAR) of what to say to doctors or any interdisciplinary team.
