PICU to Peds ED...

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitley look into the triage grading. Good point!

Well, mutlitasker I am, so that makes me feel very confident making the switch. There have been some occasions that I feel like the things that I am seeing in the PICU are becoming redundant and at times, Im bored, more so now than ever. However, my concern is that I will miss being so deeply invovled with my kids and their families. Im worried that I will miss the rapport and trust that is built. Also, Im fearful that I may lose some of the critical thinking skills that come with PICU nursing. For instance, having to think things through on many levels so you now how and when to make changes for your patient.

A good friend of mine works both Peds ED and PICU, and I have voiced all my concerns to her, and she thinks Ill thrive and love it... but it's always nice to hear it from someone who isn't my friend, and may or may not be telling me what I want to hear! lol
