Jessica’s Answer

I knew I would love it and I did for 13 years! I think adrenaline people work well in the ED. You must want to be in a team and have a deep passion for both the human body and for people and their circumstances. Everyday is different. You have the opportunity to see so much, really help those in their time of need and then move on to something new. It isn't for everyone but it can be a great experience. Good luck!
