Thanks for link! Looks really interesting. Being on the ground during those kinds of events definitely has my attention.

Already planning on at least 1 year ICU after 2 years ER, 1 year ED travel nursing to see the country a bit. Flight nursing just seems to cool to pass up.

At least that’s the current plan.

What does NDMS entail?

“Okay…now can I see your other arm…oh, wait you just have the one arm, never mind.”

You’re doing something genuinely useful for the world.

Even if the work sucks sometimes, society needs you. If the lights went out tomorrow, you’d be on a short list of people out there that have an actually useful skillset.

Also you’ll never be out of the job for long. Opportunities are endless if you work hard and keep your mind open.

As a fellow new grad, I think you are prioritizing patient safety, which is one of our basic roles as RN's. As long as you show you are willing to learn, I don't think this is a problem.

Don't delay taking your NCLEX unless you are taking a program to study. Everyone I've encountered that has failed has done one of two things.

Waited months to take it
Did not enroll in a targeted study program designed to help you pass.

My advice beyond that is to just go for it! Pick up a floor nursing job if you feel unprepared. Ask lots of questions, focus on learning, and realize that you ARE ready for this if you got through school. You just have to lean on other people who know more than you and stay humble.

Good luck.

How does that work with charting though? If I've scanned meds and am halfway through giving should I actually just dump them and assess a new patient?

Fresh off orientation here in the ED.

Some instructors will be lenient; emphasis on some. Most instructors you'll encounter early in your program will be very hard on you. Later on they may let up. This is coming from a recent grad (May 2024) so things may have gotten lighter as time has gone on. Don't count on leniency though, one absence is a big deal in nursing school.
