PICU, NICU, CICU

[Soliloquy, MSN, APRN, NP]

So initially, I was vehemently against working in these three areas. But now I'm thinking about it. It's harder due to the depth of thinking that's required. But I'm nervous and I have questions.

is it difficult to transition from Med/Surg to PICU, CICU, or NICU? Because if I decide to be a travel nurse, don't they tend to want to see people who've had Med/surg experience?

I'm curious and interested.

Please enlighten

I think if its peds med surg you shouldn't have a problem, especially with PICU. I have worked both NICU and CICU and both units use travelers frequently, in fact I am planning on travelling next year and since I also float to PICU (and some picu's/cicu's haven't made the separation yet) I should be more marketable
