I got the transfer!

1 I applied for a transfer from the low acuity ICU to the Behavioral Health department. I interviewed yesterday, and got the job!! It's a float pool position, so I will go between the different units in the department, as well as the psych ER. I get the same pay and benefits I already have, but will do charge nurse sometimes. I get 10-12 weeks of orientation, which includes classroom and preceptorship.

I've wanted to this for a long time, but was nervous to make the switch. But I finally realized I just don't enjoy regular medical nursing anymore. I think I will really like this new job. So excited
So glad you get to relax so to speak, because you are going to enjoy learning your new gig!!!

Congrats. Good luck on this new adventure!

Congratulations that is so awesome!
