If you had to choose between 2 career specialities, which one would you choose?
I am a 19-year-old EMT with over a year of experience as well as NICU/PICU experience. When I receive my bachelor's and enter medical school, I'm going to have to decide between two specialities: Emergency and NICU/PICU. Both take on brutal tasks in a 12 or 24-hour shift,t and I'd like to know others' opinions on it. Do you think I would genuinely be happier if I worked in the ER or NICU? I love my job and working with adults and geriatrics, but I also love working with paediatrics.
