It seems that ER wants to quickly treat/stabilize( enough to get you to your baseline) and ICU does the same but put they pull back more layers, dive deeper and connect more dots because of the acuity of their patients.
Thank you SOOO much for this video. I’ve been a med/surg LPN for two years and am currently heading into ICU as an RN. This journey is overwhelming and only getting started. Giving it 150% and highly appreciate your advice 💪🏼
@@BamSandleI’m in the same situation! I have offers for ED and ICU but have trouble deciding which I would like. I have the personality for both but not sure which would make me the best nurse I can be. What did you end up doing?
This is an awesome video! Really well spoken and your experience from both ICU and ER is very informative and gives great perspective. Very well thought out video, we appreciate it!
Great video! I’m burnt out after working in the ER for 14 years. Looking to transition to another dept. I’m kinda detail-oriented (which is why I’m burnt out lol). In my ER sometimes I have 2 ICU patients plus 2 regular patients 😖 So my question for you: Would you go back working in the ICU?
Question for anyone: what other nursing specialties fall in the ICU category? For example, critical care, acute care, etc. Are there other nursing specialties involving a super organized environment, such as ICU?
Yea it seems that ER wants to quickly treat/stabilize( enough to get you to your baseline) and ICU does the same but put they pull back more layers, look deeper and connect more dots because of the acuity of their patients.
I am currently a PCU burn Nurse at a burn center. I am getting ready to transition in to icu training in a few months even though i have always wanted to do ER. Our burn center has an ER but they want the Burn ER nurse to be ICU trained first. I am starting to consider leaving burn to go to our ER which is still a level 1 trauma center. I am trying to figure out what i want to do. Do u think that u benefited from having your ICU training b4 starting ER? I have only been a nurse for 1.5yrs, my background is in EMS and I wrked in the ER for 3yrs b4 becoming a nurse.
The adrenaline of the ER seems like a great way to stave off the boredom I felt after spending 15 weeks in other units, but I've never stepped foot in an ER yet as a nurse. Aaaaaand I don't know if I can handle a limb going in the wrong direction. Instant stomach flip. Instant I may need to hurl. How do I get past that?
Broken bones are my kryptonite. Just the thought of it, or like when you're watching a sports game and an athlete breaks- oh god I can't. TV gets turned off and I'm sick for a minute.
This video was so helpful! I’m graduating in few days and still don’t know if I want to be in the ER or the ICU but this video explained everything! 🤍🙌🏾

This was so helpful. I have 8 years experience as a nurse. A combo of L&D and surgical nursing. I’m thinking of transitioning to ED.
This is a real eye opener for me on how these departments work very well done Thank You for yr service stay safe
Starting new grad orientation for the ER next week! Nervous and excited! Once I get the hang of everything I know I'll love it
How’s the ER been for you so far? Approaching my final semester in nursing school and can’t decide on ICU or ER to get some good experience in.

@@brandonhenao946 I’m studying for my NCLEX now, just graduated in may! But I feel like I’m leaning towards the ER at least at first
Any updates on your ER job?
This was a great breakdown
This was really helpful as a nursing student considering both fields

Thank youu for this video!
I hope the icu makes me more organized

So my question for you: Would you go back working in the ICU?
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. Why did you switch in the departments?

I think about this way. ER will address the s/s of your anemia. ICU will address the anemia itself.
Yea it seems that ER wants to quickly treat/stabilize( enough to get you to your baseline) and ICU does the same but put they pull back more layers, look deeper and connect more dots because of the acuity of their patients.
