ICU or ER?

Specializes in ADN student.

Hey, I'm new to this site. I just started my pre-nursing classes in August. My plan has been to become an ER nurse, but I've been reading about ICU nursing recently. It seems like I'd be better suited for that, from what I've read, because it seems like you get more time with individual patients instead of hopping from patient to patient. But like I said, that's just from what I've read. For nurses who have experience in these two fields, which do you prefer?

You just started your pre-reqs. I would just browse the ER and ICU nursing categories here, but I wouldn't be concerned about which specialty you'd rather be in especially since those are 2 of the hardest to get into as a new grad.
