[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Cardiac ICU nurse. Definitely give ICU a try. I love love critical care and would be SO bored in primary care. During school on my clinicals in med surg I just hated it so much but ICU is so different. There are other challenges for sure, (hello, overbearing & difficult families I'm looking at you!) but it is way more interesting and you can really have an IMPACT. Otherwise are you at a level 1 trauma center? Are you in an urban area? Perhaps switch hospitals if you want to stay in ER.[/quote] I agree that the OP might be better suited for trauma ED or ICU. BTW, ED and meg-surg providers and nurses have an impact on their patients as well and also deal with families. I've worked with critical patients as well. I now work in procedural/PACU setting. I miss the acuity but not some of the stress related to worrying about my license due to staffing and dealing with overinflated egos from some CVICU nurses...[/quote]
