Ok, so I left 3 years of ER to go to Public Health. Hate it. Tomorrow have an interview in different ER. My question is, 8 months after being away, can you go back and how hard do you think it will be to get back into the swing of things? Smaller ER, GREAT staff. Some say that it takes a special person to be an ER nurse. I say it takes a special person to do any specialty (and these days EVERY unitor section is a specialty!!!). I think it takes a really special person to work public health. I feel like my skills are wasting away, like I'm a big faker. I know what to do when your having an MI, but need a hospital bed at home, boy, I don't know what to tell ya! Call the DME places in the phone book; you don't need me to do that for you! I really miss acute care, and the ER I am interviewing in has very few of the problems that the previous ER had, especially because the nurse manager actually advocates FOR her staff. Any well wishes are appreciated!!!
