  3. ICU RNs floated to floors?

    armyicurn replied to jamisaurus's topic in Critical Care

    Enjoy the break while you can. If you make it and get your RN and get to work as one, be ready to work any possible holiday on the calendar. The sick and dying do not take days off and the STEMI will...

  10. Cath Lab vs OR

    armyicurn replied to HTCC's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    What ^^^^^ said!. Like being on call most of the time? Working in the cathlab is stressful at times. For some folks, it can be a steep learning curve. Having critical care background is helpful x100%....
