Re: Help! I am interested in getting some feedback from people in the ICU

I have also thought the same. While some of them are silly, I have been
held back by:
-whether I would get bored
-if surgery is too cold for me (yes, I am freezing all the time)
-2 years of school without work
-school location
-competiveness to enroll
-if I could make it through school
-requires ICU experience (I'm ER and actually a little scared of ICU - ya
