I currently have offers for both an Army ED and also the local ED (level III trauma center). If I take the Army ED I will make A LOT more money ($15/hr more!) but I'm afraid I won't have the trauma exposure that I'm used to. Right now I work in a small ER but due to our location we see a good amount of trauma compared to other small ERs (1-2 cases a week for me personally) to be stabilized prior to transfer to the nearest trauma center 30 mins by flight away. I love my job and I love to feel like I actually have made a difference. The thought of dealing with low acuity makes me nervous I will end up loosing skills. If anyone has any experience I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!!!

I currently have offers for both Womack and Cape Fear ERs. If I take Womack I will make A LOT more money ($15/hr more!) but I'm afraid I won't have the trauma exposure that I'm used to. Right now I work in a small ER but due to our location we see a good amount of trauma to be stabilized prior to transfer to the nearest trauma center 40 mins by flight away. I love my job and I love to feel like I actually have made a life or death difference so the thought of dealing with low acuity chronic issues makes me nervous I will end up hating my job if I go with Womack. If anyone has any experience at either hospitals specifically in the ER I would appreciate any advice! Thanks!!!
