[quote=Anonymous][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]

Are you referring to the overbearing and difficult families who perhaps are reeling from the crisis of having a loved one on life support in the ICU? Nice, pp.

How sad is it that the people we are forced to rely on for medical assistance are such jerky people with zero compassion? I realize that you've likely become detached as a coping mechanism since you are surrounded by human suffering and death, but perhaps you people would be better off taking a sabbatical or rotating through other parts of the hospital so that patients and their families don't have to deal with your attitude?

When my sister was literally dying in a local hospital, the majority of the people I encountered on staff were truly jerks. And I'm not difficult. I went above and beyond to suck up and heap appreciation on them for essentially doing their jobs...you know, the jobs they are paid to do.
