Does working in a low level ED adequately prepare you to travel?

My city has hospitals that are a 1 and a level 4. My wife and I are looking to travel in 3 years and I would prefer to go back to the ED (I worked there as an ERT during nursing school) compared to my current department. My issue is that I currently work for the hospital that is a level one and don't particularly like it there. They are very large and very corporate and I feel like I'm totally expendable. Whereas I've heard great things about the other hospital (more relaxed atmosphere, etc). My concern is will working in a level 4 adequately prepare me to pick up travel nursing assignments in an ED after 3 years there?

    A more relaxed atmosphere can come automatically from easier work and lower stress (from lower acuity). Will you be able to travel? Sure. But you won't have as many options and you won't be competitive for even the low acuity ED assignments.

    Nice to be valued by management, but you may find when you are a higher value RN, you will get more respect than you did as a lowly tech. Anyway, if it is stressful, and you survive three years, you will be perfectly prepared as a traveler!
