Afraid to move into different nursing fieldRating: (votes: 0) I don't think you're giving yourself enough nearly enough credit. You've mastered time management, patient education, discharge planning, communication with ancillary departments, delegation.... you understand the regulatory environment mandates like core measures, HCAHPS, documentation rules, . . . you don't fall apart in a crisis.... you can deal with the continuous barrage of new orders, patient/family requests, admits and discharges. .. YOU ARE A FULLY COMPETENT NURSE!!! And that's quite an accomplishment. So it's probably time to begin looking for developmental opportunities to take your career to the next level. An obvious move would be to add telemetry skills. Look for an arrhythmia management class. Is there a clinical specialty or functional area that interests you? Have you considered moving "up" into leadership roles? You are a MedSurg nurse.... there's nothing you can't do. Comment:
If you move into a speciality then, if it is a good unit will give you a good orientation.I moved from the floors to the ED, I was given an 8 week orientation where experienced ED nurses hired at the same time got 4-6 weeks.If you are serious about making a change, as you interview ask about your orientation and their process
