Hello! I'm a RN working in one of the busiest ED in NYC. I used to be on med/surg for 3 years and I transitioned ED and it has been 2 years already.
These days, I feel so lost in my career path and feel so burnt out. Even on my days off, I constantly feel anxious of going to work and it literally ruins the days off worrying which is so awful...
I want to try different nursing specialty besides adult nursing care. So L&D and NICU came up to mind. I think I'm more detail-oriented but also like fast-paced. And also I like patient coming and leaving.
I think L&D has more similar setting as the ED since it's a very fast-paced and emergent environment. Is there any nurse who transitioned to either L&D or NICU from adult ED or med/surg? I want some advice.
Thank you all!!
