I have been a registered nurse for a little over a year and completed my first year in emergency . I have since been working in a day stay unit and have undertaken an interview for a PACU nursing internship.
I am really interested in theater nursing however i found that I got burnt -out towards the end of my first year because of the stresses of working with critical patients in ed.
While I have some idea of what PACU entails, I am concerned about possible stresses like I encountered in ed.
I thought I would try and use a forum to get other nurse's perspectives and advice.
Any comments would help.
Thank you.
