Hi, I'm currently a nursing student about to graduate in May (2012). I am working as a nurse intern in a level 1 trauma hospital and got the chance to work in the E.D the other night. I loved the environment but when talking to my professor about it the following day he said "stay away from the E.D, nurses are set up to fail". This really bothered me because obviously as a new grad I don't want to fail ! I'd like to work in the E.D out of school but even if I get experience first, I'm wondering why he thinks E.D nurses are set up to fail and if nurses who work in the emergency department feel the same way? Thanks
