NICU nurse thinking about working in the ER

Published

need some advice....

i have been working in the nicu now for almost three years and am thinking about going to work in the er-the nicu is a great place to work but i want to expand on my skills and see interesting things-- i realize that they are two totally different worlds (part of the attraction to the er)--was wondering if anyone out there might have any words of wisdom or advice on making such a transition.....

thanks!!

You ain't kiddin'.......had a GI bleed/DKA pt the other day. The 10x10 room was literally covered in either poo or puke. I wanted to crawl back to clean, sweet-smelling NICU....and my cute babies.
