On December, 2015 I completed the Vascular Thoracic ICU GN internship training program at Florida Hospital Orlando, and passed from RN level I which is an advanced beginner nurse to RN level IV which is an experienced nurse. My place of employment follows Benner’s stages of clinical competence to promote their nurses. Nurses receive four types of levels depending their acquisition, development of skills and years of experience. To be promoted is important to me because it means that I am growing and learning as nurse each day and I am becoming more competent as time passes by.
On February, 2017, while in the BSN program in December 2016, I had the opportunity to do clinicals in an Emergency Department in at Florida Hospital Kissimmee for my Community Nursing class, this motivated me to transfer to this unit, which I got hired under the Emergency Department Nurse Internship Program (EDNIP) which is designed for experience nurses who transition to the Emergency Department from another specialty. The 12 week program provides a combination of didactic, online and precepted clinical-based training. The nurse manager at Florida Hospital Kissimmee Emergency Department, has been very impressed with my performance, therefore I have been offered the opportunity to train as a relief charge nurse.
