Working ER is exciting, but also very stressful..considering a change. Lately, we've been so snowed under by patients I am fearing for my license and patient's lives daily due to the non-stop stream that keeps coming through the door(EVEN WHEN WE ARE ON DIVERT!).
I would like to do something which like ER is varied but with a smaller amount of patients, does anyone have any ideas?

Try working at a fast-paced rehab hospital. Plenty of skills, less patients than the typical ER, and the patients are often thankful for the care being provided.
