  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?

  Instead of the patients coming in already bleeding you’ll have to make them bleed and then stop it.

  Seems like extra work to me.

  My ex was a scrub tech for years, loved it until she hit the top of the pay scale and so went to nursing school. Training put her in a 6-month 3rd shift stint at the downtown OR, the local “gun and knife club”, loved it. When she got her RN, she went straight back in the OR.

  She used to always laugh, “I don’t have to talk to those fuckers! They’re knocked out when I get to them!”

  Sounds like you’re a better fit for patients who are unconscious.
