I too am a NICU nurse, for about 2 years. I want to make the switch to the ER, but am afraid of if i would succeed or not due to my previous experience

Hi, So i have been a NICU rn for about a year and 1/2, and went there as a new grad. Recently I have decided that I want to try something new before I forget everything I learned in NS school. I was wondering if anyone here has gone from the NICu to an adult cardiac floor? Also how is the orientation to a tele unit? I hear cadiac nurses love cardiac. Im not a type A personality but love a challange and learning new things. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me so i can see if this might be a good fit.

So, I graduated nursing school about 1 1/2 years ago and went straight to the NICU as a new grad. Lately I have been thinking about trying something new. Dont get me wrong, I think that I have such a cool job, and love working with babies, but I feel like if I dont get out of the NICU soon, I will be there forever. Im still young and want to explore different areas of nursing but im afraid that working in the NICU will limit me from qualifying for other jobs. Has anyone ever left the NICU to work with adults, if so how was the transition? Can it be done?
