I am an R.N. and my most favorite job was working in the E.R. I particularly loved dealing with trauma...not that I wanted anyone to get hurt...but trauma is more challenging. You have to know what to do, when to do it and be able to do it as if it required no thought...as it is was second nature. You had to be prepared to handle whatever came through that door. In the E.R., you do more than "floor" nurses because you draw all your own blood (so you need to know what colored top tubes to draw), do all your own EKGs, start your own IVs, etc. You also have to be able to deal with the families. It is truly an area of nursing that you either love or hate and I loved it.
