I definately think that the ER is where I want to be when I become a nurse. I love to continue learning anything and everything, I work on a cardiac floor right now as a PCA (a tech) and when they call a code.....my heart starts racing, but I don't get nervous, I just love the feeling of knowing that I have certain things to do to help keep that patient alive. I definately think the ER is where I'm going to belong.

I never knew I was an adrenaline junkie until I started working the ER. I work in a smaller hospital, but we still see everything imaginable. There are some very frustrating moments, but I still love it!

I love the ER! It does have its frustrations, but the unpredictable nature of the area is AWESOME! And yes, you DO see everything! I can truly say I have a gift for it. Love it!

As an ER nurse of 12 years I found the article very informative as to what ER nurses deal with.
