Last night was my second night in the Emergency Department and things are going well. I am responsible for stocking the rooms with supplies and for changing beds after patients leave. I don't have any patient contact (which is probably good-after all what would I say? "Hi, sorry you are in the ER today.") From stocking the rooms, I have learned a lot about the supplies (different size needles, catheters, different bandages, urine cups, etc.) So far, so good. I like it and find it exciting to be there. I find myself being shy around the staff...not wanting to get in the way or say something stupid :) I am sure I will become more confident with time.
I got the sense from one of the nurses (with a BSN) that I should go for my BSN instead of my ASN. I go back and forth with this and maybe when I apply, my decision will be made for me...one will accept me and one won't. I am still leaning towards ASN and then doing my BSN online immediately after...
