   Thank you for all of your replies. I applied for the urgent care position as they wanted me to before I could even shadow. They seemed interested and I felt like it would be a terrific fit for my life and family. My supervisor said that she would let...

2. "Career Suicide"

   4 years. 3 as a Tech and about 16 months as an RN. All of that time spent in the same department of a small hospital that's part of a large health care system. The clinic job would be through the same health care system.

7. How long to be really comfortable?

   dannygirl315 posted a topic in Emergency

   I've worked in a small rural ER for the past 4 years (3 as a Tech and the past 14 months as an RN). I felt comfortable for the 3 years as a Tech but the past 14 months have me wondering if I really belong in the ER. I often feel like I'm making mista...
