Once the ED gets the pt. basically stable they are sent to a Trauma ICU unit. That is where I work as a PCT. I love it and would never go back to med/surg. Some of the differences are: I don't spend my shift taking vitals and fetching ice water, the nurse to pt. ratio is lower and the nurses seem less stressed and more able to focus on delivering great care. You will learn new skills and perhaps gain a new perspective on healthcare as a whole. I know I have. Good luck to ya.
