How do I decided what unit of the hospital I should work at first?
I love pediatrics, I had a internship there this summer, but my end goal is to become a flight nurse. I also love ICU, PICU and the emergency room. So which should I start with as a new grad? I can float or get crossed trained but I want to have a home base.
Which is better, Paramedic or EMT?
Just a general question. I'm planning on becoming one of these, but I don't know which yet. Any suggestions?
What are the pros and cons to becoming a paramedic?
I would love to become a paramedic, but i've heard from a lot of people that it's not that great of a job. There's often trauma involved, and it is at random hours of the day. Apparently it consumes your schedule. I would love to become one, as I said before, but I don't know if it is worth it. Any thoughts?
How does one get used to the hospital ER environment?
I am a Pre-Radiography student, intending to apply for my college's Radiography program later this year. I do plan on doing a hospital tour before applying, but those I've talked to have said that you "just get used" the the various things that happen in an ER environment. I know that not everyone is capable of handling the fast pace and intensity of an ER environment, so I would like to know how someone can know that they can before investing fully in a program that includes being in a hospital and ER environment as part of clinicals. Thank you!

I'm not sure which career path is be best for me, can someone help guide me in the right direction?
I'm 23 years old, ever since I was child I've wanted to be someone that helps others. I've worked at a hospital for 3 years now, searching for the career thats right for me. I started of as ancillary staff but after less then 1 and a 1/2 years I became part of The Lift, Mobility, & Compression Team. Basically we work really close with nursing staff and physical therapy, we respond to every crisis situation (code stroke, code blue, patient falls, to an in patient getting moved up to ICU), we also are firm believers in early mobility so we work with patients doing range of motion, dangling, standing, getting them on cardiac chairs or regular chairs, ambulating them, and even helping discharge max assist patients. Right now my major is nursing, but I would not want to work as a floor nurse, recovery nurse, ICU nurse, pick line nurse, or wound care nurse. I'm thinking CVOR nurse, ER nurse, trauma nurse, crisis nurse, CRNA even though there is a lot more school required, one thing that really grasps my attention outside of the medical field is becoming a fire fighter. #nursing #registered-nurses #surgery #firefighting #emergency-room #trauma-nursing #firefighter

What can be a backup plan to an ER Trauma Doctor?
I love fast-paced jobs and being challenged, and I most definitely do not want to be stuck doing the same thing in the same place every single day. I love the medical field and I want to help others that cannot help themselves. That is why I chose my intended career path as an Emergency Room Trauma Doctor. I believe it contains all of the aspects that I am looking for in my desired career; however, I would like to have a backup plan. What else could I be interested in that can give me the same rush, challenge, and variety in the environment? #doctor #medicine #hospital #emergency-medicine #emergency-room #trauma-treatment
