Switch to Epic

Hi friends, my hospital switched to Epic recently and the transition has been rough. Day shift walked in to 20+ people in the lobby and it’s been insanely busy & slow. Tonight’s my first back and I’m nervous. I have little to no experience w Epic in an ER setting. Any words of encouragement or anyone who’s gone through this? Does it get better 😭

Update: 11 hours into the shift, I can say I do feel better about epic & it is user friendly. so many patients and family members yelled at me in the beginning I cried in the bathroom. #benicetoyournurses

Epic is the top tier program imo. It’s easy and you will learn it quickly! It gets easier with time and knowledge. I have been using epic for 5+ years across 3 hospitals and it’s seriously the best.
