Any ER staff here?

Would you recommend working in this department in a US hospital?

You’re never going to be too bored. And the excitement of never knowing what is going to come in the door.

@SageWanderer Have you worked in this?

@SophieC I worked as a paramedic so I brought a lot of the crazy into ER.

@SageWanderer That's something else I'm considering training for. I've been in A&E in the UK for four years and i love it but I think its time to move on

@SophieC I did it for 10 years and have to say it was very fulfilling. But burn out is a problem.

@SageWanderer Is that why you don't do it now? I've heard of paramedics suffering from PTSD here because of what they've seen and had to deal with. That's my worry about it

@SophieC There were a few reasons. Some was burnout, age is another plus keeping up with continuing education. Became too difficult with a job and family.
