Hi Everyone, I can't tell you how many times I have looked through topics and comments for insight and information. Well now I need a little help. I have been a nurse for 5 years. I currently work on a heme/onc floor with heavy emphasis on acute leukemia/lymphoma in an academic medical center. I am between two jobs right now, one is a leadership position on an onc floor in a community hospital and the other is a staff nurse position on a CSICU at a teaching hospital. I love my onc patients and I also like charging/being in a leadership role. I also have been eyeing a possible transition to an icu for some time. I know it is going to be a big learning curve for the icu position. I was just wondering if anyone else on here has made a similar transition. If so here are my questions: What was it like? Did you ever regret changing specialties? What was the most rewarding or exciting experience on the new unit? What was the hardest part about changing specialties? If you have any other info for me please pass it along! Thanks!!
