There are so many adv vs disadvantages to floating....
Like you, I feel out of my realm. If they have team nursing or functional nursing you can offer to do the things you're familiar with...passing meds, doing treatments, etc. This cuts down on the amount of charting you have to do
Got pulled to post partum once.... volunteered to take the c-sec, I know surg pts...but all were on IVs with no pumps,,,ran around all night trying to get my gtts right!! At least they had foleys , incisions, things I knew how to deal with!!
I also worked in a closed unit...we never got pulled, but on the other hand, we couldn't pull anyone either....had to cover ourselves, so we had mandatory call time. Not the ideal solution, but it proevents you from being pulled to a unit you feel uncomfortable with.
There are solutions,you just have to find those that work for your facility.
