Just surfing and noticed the discussion re new grads in ER.
I was a RPN(LPN) for 14 yrs in geriatrics and psych, and am now working on a medical surgical floor as a RN. I have to respond to a call tomorrow re an open ER position. I'm afraid if I get too comfortable where I'm at, I will never have the courage to try something more. My kids are grown, I single parented for 16 yrs, 4 of them, 2 adhd sons....so have had some stress management going on for quite a while.
How can I decide if I am cut out for this kind of work? without making a huge mistake?
