I've been a nurse for 6 years, and I've been in the ICU for 4 of those years. I'm also in grad school, semester 3, for AGACNP. I really want to switch to a PACU position due to some issues with my back that keep getting worse with bedside nursing. I absolutely love beside nursing, but I feel that PACU might be a better fit while in in school. My question is, does anyone think that switching to PACU will inhibit me getting a job in an ICU as an NP? Or is my 4 years of ICU work enough?
Thanks!!
