After a 2 year hiatus staying home with my kids, I'm going back to work! My question is I only have about 2.5 years experience, and that was in a PCU. I've always wanted to try ED, but I had such horrific anxiety while working on the PCU unit I was on I felt like the ED would make it worse.
I don't know if it was just the unit I was on? The people were awesome, but we would end up with 7 PCU patients regularly. I was CONSTANTLY worried about my patients coding. Part of the reason I want to do ED is because I'm nervous about so many aspects of nursing that are experienced in the ED. So I want to kind of rip of the bandaid so to speak. I don't know if that's the right mentality BUT it's where I'm at. Should I give it go or go back and refresh my skills on a PCU?
