Where will you be primarily based in the hospital job? Any particular section? How does the ER float thing work — do nurses take turns handling that duty?

We have a friend who is a nurse at the hospital near us.

She was in maternity when Luke was born. She was in ER when Jr. broke his hand. She was in intensive care when Nana dislocated her hip.

We told her not to tell us if she was transferred to the morgue.

Primarily med/surg. That’s my specialty. Sick and surgical patients, in other words.

They call that “being on the floor”. I’m a floor nurse, so to speak. But if they don’t need me on the floor, and they’re short personnel in the ER or Labor and Delivery, I can float (if I want) to those other floors, with the understanding that I am not experienced, but will help where I can and gain experience at the same time.
