Comment on What's good to know before transferring from Emergency to Operation Room as a nurse?

Go to the OR. I worked ED a long time and my happiest coworkers left for either OR or specials. You already do recovery and patient education as an ER nurse. I prefer ermds to surgeons usually but that’s just whatever. ER is better if you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder but you can do that from anywhere if you join enough committees. If you already have hem/onc floor experience I would look at ambulatory infusion center too. Once you get certified it’s cake and I loved the work/patients when I was there briefly. I don’t want to be down on the ED but most people know in less around a year if they can tolerate it long term. RN stands for refreshments and narcotics right?
