Hi! It was very intresting and informative reading this thread. I am in process of chaning from hospital to home care andI had just had interview with 2 home care agency. Thank you!

I am closet"ER". My husband always says, " you have enough of this at work, don' you?" and "yeah, just change it" is my reply. I also told my non-nursing friends, "that's not real, it's a medical soap!" but when my husband is not at home during the day, ( I work nights) I watch reruns. I also secretly tape them.

Thank you very much for your advice, everyone! Many people I spoke to said same thing as CEN35 wrote,"some people are cut out to be ER nurse", and not experience. I like the story about "treating patient not the monitor" from Y2KRN. anyway, I have not get ER job yet, but I am still looking for. Thank you again!

I have been working at Surgical/medical floor for about a year since I graduated from nursing school, and thinking about going to ER. I always have a passion to be a ER nurse but I did not feel ready a year ago....but now I am not happy about what I am doing. Do you think I should have more experience before go to ER? Some people I spoke to suggested to go to telemetry first. Any advice?
