Moving on...
I really enjoy the blog by emergency department (ED) nurse Disappearing John. I'll soon be getting a taste of his kind of medicine as I become a full-time ED nurse practitioner. Any advice John?
I've spent the first 3 years of my NP career working at a rural health family practice clinic. It's been a wonderful experience getting to know individuals as well as whole families, and being let in to their very personal health and family concerns. I thank all of them for teaching me something every day and for helping me to feel so blessed.
Now to the future, and looking forward to acquiring new skills...

I fairly new in the ED, but our FNP's work their buns off!
They work the 12 noon to 12 midnight shift, when we are the busiest. I really enjoy the days they work, because they do a lot more "teaching" with the patients than the docs do, and just seem to be better at the "bedside raport" than the docs..
As for advice, nope, just dive right in! Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead; but never be afraid to stop and ask for help. The best thing about ED's is there is always someone there who can offer a hand, or advice....
