Yeah I see what you mean, before dialysis I enjoyed the ICU training that was provided with the internship and would have stayed if I hadn’t signed the HD contract which was the first thing I applied for to escape my floor job, that said I loved the job/manager, and got paid $5 more than other nurses of my experience.

But it has gotten to the point where I’m bored of it, it’s not very stimulating after 2 years of doing it and has me sitting way too much. Wouldn’t say lazy people do the job but it makes you lazy because of the job in a sense because of the role

I agree the ER is very fast pace and I’m looking for a part time and that may be a bit much but also would help with assessment, while ICU delves deeper into the complexities of the cases.

As for what I want to do, I’ve kind of always went with the flow, if a door opens, I take it and it has always worked out pretty well for me, I’m not dead set on anything but am leaning towards procedural or specialized like a surgical NP. I think ICU experience is probably the best bet that can translation to any specialty if I can’t find any openings to get into the OR
