Anyone change to ICU later in their career? I have been asked if I'd like to train for ICU and to be honest, I am afraid I won't be able to cut it. My last med surge was 2015 and I've been working in a hospital based surgical clinic since. Right now my job is easy and really boring but tedious and I am not loving it. But the schedule is flexible and I pick my days mostly. But because I don't love it anymore, I do not work that much and when I do I feel dissatisfied. A little bit about me, I am ADHD which makes me super Type A. I am a rule follower, and always look for the policies.I don't like to wing it, I like to be taught the proper way to do things. I am meticulous with my current job. Learning the new skills is very stressful for me, but once I get it, I do fine. Does this sound like a good person for the ICU or the opposite of that? What personality is best suited for ICU? What personality makes you not good for ICU? I appreciate brutal honesty as this would be a big change for me and I am probably going to chicken out.
