New Grad RN - Need AdviceRating: (votes: 0) PCU - VERY BUSY FLOOR -1:4-5 ratio, step down from ICU (half are sent back up) ICU - high acuity 1:2 (they recommend not hiring new grads) Med Surg - (dirty-floor) 1:6-7 ratio Med Surg - Surgical,("clean") , 1:5 CCC - Cardiac Concentrated Care (post open hearts, etc) 1:4 ratio Any ideas, the only other option is to drive 45 min. one way to other hospital. HELP ![]() Thanks - Terri They are pretty removed from L&D. I gather there are no positions even in post-partum?Anyone probably would get you the skills in assessment and organization that you would need. I would stay away from the one with the ratio of 1:6-7, that's tough for a new grad. The cardiac unit might be a good place to work, since you will hopefully have time to learn cardiac rhythms, lab interpretation as well as physical assessments.Good luck. |
