Why You SHOULD Apply To The ER As A New Nurse

[@Thenurse_jay]

The crazy thing is that nursing schools (in the Las Vegas area, at least) try and push us to settle for med surg floors. Fuck that. Be the type of nurse you want to be. There is no set "ladder" you have to climb

[@alexisf22]

It's not just Las Vegas many states try to push new nurses onto the med surg floors.

[@ryanm7358]

@@alexisf22 why is this?

[@Mandy-cn8sq]

Nursing schools want to push medsurg because no one wants it 😂

[@ginaclame20]

The thing about me is that I never thought that I would be good enough to work in the ER. To be able to work under fast pace conditions and still get the job done, working with emergent situations and critical meds , participating in codes accurately etc. but I really am willing to try despite saying I never wanted to go for the er. I feel I will learn so much more

[@yousrakhitouch4395]

If you're ready to work hard, open to learning and proactive, you can achieve whatever you want. That's my philosophy too.

[@interestingviews77]

🥳👊👌

[@asdfghjklformeesee]

is this my sign from the ER gods? i’ve been aggressively applying to the ER simply because of your advice and i’m lowkey trying to go down the path you did from nursing > PA. i don’t like bedside nursing at all (med/surg floors, etc). so i feel like the ER is really calling me. prayers up and fingers crossed

[@cinnamonthecat9661]

hey im a newbie wanting to become an ER nurse. how did things go for you?

[@sls4170]

@@cinnamonthecat9661 I know that you’re asking someone else, but I just graduated and got an ED job! No real experience prior.

[@Carohuynh97]

I needed to hear this!!! I finally landed an interview tomorrow for an ED position as a new grad and been freaking out for it until I came across your video. I feel more confident and I agree that we have to take risks! I can’t give in to medsurg if I know that’s not my passion. Why waste time if I can go straight into critical care? Thank you for this! Your advice has truly been so helpful.

[@wshelby83]

How did it go?

[@mimomeep6091]

Not really wasting time because it teaches you time management and gives you more insight about the the progression of inpatient care.

[@shellonebeckford996]

I actually am a nurse for 6 years an LPN for 4 and RN for 2 but I never had formal hospital experience. I was always working in nursing homes. I took the risk applied and went to job fairs and I finally got into the ER with my associates degree ! I’m so happy to start this new journey in my career as a Nurse

[@debbieaubourg684]

Same here, the best to you.

[@vicktoria9218]

Agree. I applied at a hospital and been working there several months now in the lab.I graduate in October and I plan on applying to the ER once I’m done.

[@miguelangelvasquez7750]

My boy you just motivated me to get into nursing 💯💯 stay up brotha !

[@Saberdud]

how's your journey?

[@kayfun15]

What's up man! Just wanna give you an update and also a thank you for your videos. I graduated in December and in a week I will be starting as a new grad on a Cardiac ICU. Your drive in moving forward are really helping me to keep pushing. Again, thank you!

[@coldxsushi]

I definitely needed to hear this..I have bad imposter syndrome but finally applying around to ER new grad programs, thank you for your words of encouragement :) EMT of 10 years now and ready to upgrade my skills!

[@nedarevrac2765]

That is my plan after I graduate from nursing school. I begin college this upcoming fall. I watch all your videos and I’m extremely excited to start my journey!!! I’m a male going into the field... so I’m skeptical and curious on what life has in store for me

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Good luck!!! 🍀

[@jonimarie09]

I'm not a new nurse (can't believe it's been 7 years already). I can totally relate to the play it safe advice. Looking back I wish I would have jumped into the specialty I wanted from the very begining. I'm currently changing my specialty and hope to get hired into the ED. We all have to start our careers somewhere and might as well be doing something we have a passion for.

[@lunaandcoco4771]

I have hard time getting accepted in ER, as most hospitals prefer you to have acute care/med surg experience before hiring you in ER. I do want to start in ER or psych unit but no call backs after sending in my applications. I got hired recently for med surg though

[@betrayal6231]

Hey you should make a video on how to decide what nurse/pa you want to be as your career. I’m still undecided even after all this planning time 😅 I’m already knee deep in nursing school too

[@akirakitana9260]

My problem too lol

[@janbellatorres99]

Awesome video! I loved it! Im in my Fourth semester of nursing school and I really want to be an ER nurse! This video gives me hope, thank you! 💕

[@QueenFaith1000]

This is so encouraging. Thank you!

[@kriziaeloraf3581]

I just graduated from nursing school… I’m thinking of ER but I was told to do tele but this video kinda convinced md to try it

[@sophiaa.3072]

I think it’s because medsurg needs nurses, they have more burnout lol and people leave faster. But if you absolutely know you don’t want med surg don’t do a residency or contract and pray you get into the department of your choice

[@crystadabs]

Exactly on point that's a better approach.

[@mirandaalexis]

As someone who started out in the ER (precepted students and new grads in the ER) and cross trained in ICU- I can safely say if it's a level 2 or level 1 trauma center new grads don't need to start in the ER. Now if someone is dead set on knowing they want to do ER then yes hey can go into ER right out of school- but if you're not sure then don't do ER

[@yoliezackschewski9406]

I’m orienting now and I’m a new nurse and it’s level 1 trauma and I don’t feel it’s for me. It’s week 3 and I already feel like I’m not belonging here. I feel bad to leave but I just don’t feel it’s right fit for me.

[@mirandaalexis]

@@yoliezackschewski9406 And that’s okay if it’s not. It doesn’t mean you failed, and it’s also only week 3. You may have 3 more weeks and then feel like you do belong there.

[@joshmccord9507]

Here’s my issue with those pushing people into med surg before er nursing… they are two veryyyy different areas and the mindset in both are way different. If you want to go to the er and you are sure of that don’t go practice a method that is completely different from where you want to be.

[@allthingskay1]

Thanks super helpful! I’m in my last year of nursing school and just applied to an ER tech position hoping to get some ER experience.

[@protegegaming7246]

The background music is 🔥

[@antran25495]

they literally told me that they won't accept new grad. So I'm just gonna work on so-called internally medicine floor (basically a med-surg floor) then I will transfer to the ER

[@kaynenbrown5102]

That’s okay! Out your time in and transfer. It will fly by!!

[@evomusic1720]

I do that with my husband all the time. He’s in Fort Jackson and I’m in my last semester of nursing school.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Haha I was so surprised.

[@michaelrincon559]

I already work in the ER as a tech. Everyone asks if ima stay and I say heck yes. Best experience as a nurse and a tech. I will however end up leaving for the ICU cuz I wanna do skylife after a while.

[@stevens1-o7s]

I’m still here though making small progresses but yes, the learning curve is no joke. If I make it, I know I’ll be able to do almost anything... but for now I still don’t know shit!

This was a good video. I’m looking to go into ED or ICU. Trying to figure out which one I want to go into first. I’ve been a LPN for 7 years, and RN for 1 year. My experience has only been Long Term Care. Looking to into the hospital and find my path in either specialty.

You should pay your dues in the trenches of med surg first because this is where you see a lot and treat it for a length of time.

hey, do you know any td1 nurses that work in the ER? I wanna do ER but i’m worried my td1 will affect my performance often

[@John-kv2dq]

Do you(kaynen or anyone else) think I will need medical experience as a new grad nurse looking for job in ER or somewhere else? I know lots of people have CNA experience or medical assistant experience but I haven’t had the time with school to get this experience.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Nope!! You don’t need anything. Use whatever work experience you do have(waiter, sales, etc etc) and tie that into your endeavors towards the nursing position.

[@amadeusj.2127]

I didn't have any medicla experience prior to getting a job in the ER. I graduated in December of last year and started my job in January 25th. Keep pushing bro!

[@Internetlo]

I’m a cardiac tele nurse, now a year in. Kind of interesting in ER maybe but not sure if I’ll drown there since I am an introvert, really cautious in my care to patients and organized in how I do things. I heard ER is chaos.

[@Vkira02]

ER is chaos for sure but does require organization, prioritizing, being cautious and thinking on your feet. ER has a flow to it despite looking like it doesn't. Takes a while to figure it out sometimes but worth it! You learn ALOT! Im learning something new every day. Im an introvert too and been in ER for 8 months now. There's a mix of introvert and extrovert here and majority of us a thrill seekers 😂. Started off in tele floor for a year before moving to ER. Best decision ever! Try floating to ER sometime. It will give you a good idea of what it is like before you make the jump.

[@isaiahcruz2804]

Cap

[@johnmc188]

Jesus lied and said, "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." How can he be the son of god if he said he was coming back 2000 years ago? The bible condones owning and beating slaves. Exodus 21:20 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. According to genealogies in the bible, the earth is about 6000 years old. This is contradicted by both recorded human history and fossil records.

[@studentforlife714]

How can you sit here and say med surg doesn’t require just as much critical thinking? The ER assessments are not nearly as detailed and are sloppy at times.
