    So initially, I was vehemently against working in these three areas. But now I'm thinking about it. It's harder due to the depth of thinking that's required. But I'm nervous and I have questions.

    is it difficult to transition from Med/Surg to PICU, CICU, or NICU? Because if I decide to be a travel nurse, don't they tend to want to see people who've had Med/surg experience?

    I'm curious and interested.

    Please enlighten
