Get Out While You Can

I was an ER nurse for 30 years, retired 2019. So glad I did. I am just starting a year of travel.

    I like my job but I think after 30 years I’d be done, too.

    Dear Mr Medic

    I saw a few medics go to nursing school and become nurses in our ER, mostly because the pay was better. 

    You already have a lot of skills but being a nurse is different. It’s a lot more complicated in that there are so many different scenarios a nurse deals with. 

    My advice: Be humble. Don’t assume because you were a medic, you got this *** down. You don’t. Your coworkers have a lot to teach you. 

    ER nurses love medics. You will get along great and make more money !

    Good luck

    I left nursing last fall. Stopped being fun. Mostly burnt out from covid but really didn't like the across the board bad attitude of patients & families. The verbal abuse wasn’t worth it. Good luck to all of you who are sticking with it.
