Alright, all, here's my random question. I have a background in ICU, and I have been doing flight nursing for about 2 years. The 24hr shifts are slowly killing, and getting those late calls at the end of shift, extending them to 28+ hour shifts is terrible for my work/life balance. I only work two days a week, but the day between shifts and the day after is sometimes just a useless me.
I'm looking at an ED day shift position. I pick up patients from that ED all the time. It's medium sized, 30-40 beds, and flys out a LOT of patients. Working in ED was never something I saw in my cards, but having done flight for a couple years now I have a little more interest in it. Has anyone transitioned ICU to ED? How was it?
