Considering a move to ER

Hello everyone,

I am considering a move to the emergency room setting.  I have only filled in at the ER occasionally.  I am currently working a Med-Surg floor at night, and have been for about 9 years.  Previous to that, I worked in a hospital clinic, in a skilled long term care facility and for a private physician's office.  

Has anybody made the move to ER from Med-Surg, and if so, did you find the transition doable as far as the learning curve?  I am hesitant to make the switch as I am afraid my peers may think that I am not fast enough or efficient enough for the ER.

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you!
