IMU/PCU nurses when transitioned to ICU - how long did it take you to feel comfortable?

Wait 5 sec.

Experienced nurse (6 years) but new to ICU. Just finished my first few orientation shifts and I feel like 🫨🫨🫨🫨. I feel like I theoretically understand things but the little things make me nervous (line spaghetti, overriding emergency meds, all the stopcocks, being comfortable with verbal orders during emergencies, etc) When does it get easier?   submitted by   /u/nerfball4cats [link]   [comments]
