    Is cardiac tele experience a semi-good fit for transitioning to the ED?

    libran1984 replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like you have your eye on the ball. "Critical care" experience is a plus. Your ACLS is a plus. Friends to vouch for you in the ED you're applying to is a plus. I think you have a well-thought...
