Thinking about Making the Switch

That's interesting. I'm not sure I'd be able to do it before the interview, however, as it's at a different hospital than I'm currently employed. But it's definitely something I'll ask about at the interview before I accept or decline (assuming I'm offered the job ).

Well, on antepartum we have the occasional emergency (using emergency in the true sense of the word-not counting precip. deliveries or fevers, etc) such as hemorrhages, cord prolapse, etc.

I was looking for a change of pace, and expected one moving to the ER.

I was offered, but decided not to take, this ER job. It's in a small community hospital (smaller than I thought) not equipped to take real traumas, have no neuro on site, no ICU, etc. They do have a 24hr transport ambulance waiting on call, and the Life Flight Helicopter, but the life flight is sometimes grounded (bad weather) or being used. I don't feel comfortable caring for a patient that the facility isn't equipped to treat.

Thanks
