Hello everybody and thanks for taking the time to read this. I have recently decided to go back to school to get my ASN. Now I should say ahead of time; I want to be an ER RN because I want to help people, I want a challenge and I want to work in a fast-paced hospital environment. As far as I've researched an ER RN would suit me (if I am wrong please let me know). Everybody I've talked to say that RNs are ass-wipers and don't get paid enough and that the job outlook in Florida (Sarasota) is not good, basically that I shouldn't be going for it.
If anyone can shed some light on your experiences of an ER RN. Are there any other necessary steps to take to becoming an ER RN? Is there any experience needed to start working as an RN / ER-RN? Any advice for me?
Thank you all.
