I'm a Combat Medic (Emergency Care Specialist). I'm very interested in becoming a nurse as I'm soon to transition out of the military. As a Combat Medic in battle I'm accustomed to very high intensity critical care. Also I've done my rotation in the Troop Medical Clinic as the "Medic"(Gathering information from the patient, scheduling appointments, taking vitals and handing the patient and information off to a PA).
What I'm getting at here is... could you guys help me discover a bit of a "happy" median? I love the thrill of providing care for patience in critical/acute situation but I also love interacting with the patient, teaching and guiding them. Is critical care nurse a good path for me?
Thanks very much guys I really appreciate it. I never got the EFMB (Night Land Nav is brutal haha) but I do have my CMB. Consensus seems like Trauma or Critical Care may be for me. Thanks everybody.
