Urgent Care Nursing

Published

Specializes in Emergency.

I'm an ER nurse with 10 months experience in ER. I'm extremely burnt out and ready for a change. The only offer I have at the moment is for an urgent care. I am excited at the opportunity for a break, but I do want to know if I am sabatoging my opportunity to get into other critical care areas by "downgrading" to urgent care. Is urgent care experience considered useful? As valuable as med surg? With a few years experience as an urgent care nurse can I move over to an area such as pre op or PACU if I so desire?
